MOTHER EARTH

Red is the grass beneath me.

Dry is the air I must breathe.

Roots spiral from my battered core.

The earth will shelter and protect me.

I will flourish in this forsaken place.

SEA FLOWS THROUGH ME

The sea flows through me.

I’m part of it you see.

Water fills my cells.

It rings all my bells.

Sunlight keeps me warm.

Nature is true to form.

It protects us.

It nurtures us.

We’re all connected.

No less is expected.

ARE WE SAFE?

Kilchurn Castle, Scotland

A castle on top of a mountain.
Protected on all sides
from possible intruders.
Is it protected?
Can anything or anyone
be truly safe in life?
From sadness,
illness,
death.
No, we can’t.
But we must
soldier on.
Put up our defenses.
Fight our battles.
And live on.

EVIL ALWAYS FINDS A WAY

The castle’s walls look thick and sturdy.
Ready to withstand any attack.
Ready to protect its own.
But is it strong enough to block
evil from saturating its walls?
Evil can seep in from
the most unexpected sources.
It can take on different forms.
It can travel in one’s heart or soul.
It can disguise itself as love or mercy.
Evil knows no bounds,
for it will do anything to win.
You may strengthen your walls,
but evil always finds its way in.

AN ODE TO THE CLOUDS

The clouds.
The clouds hold our tears.
They hold our hopes and dreams.
Circling us with their never-ending movement.
A special dance among the stars in heaven.
Protecting us from the harsh rays of the sun.
Keep moving and evolving, beautiful clouds,
like our dreams that you hold so dear.

LIGHTNING STRIKES

At times we are too exposed to life and
the sadness it may bring to our lives.
We wait for our lives to get better on their own.
But this is what we shouldn’t be doing.
We should be protecting ourselves
for whatever life has in store for us in the future.
We should be protecting our hearts, our bodies,
and our loved ones.
We must erect strong barriers to withstand any storm.
Only then will be prepared.
Only then we won’t be sitting and waiting, like
a lone tree waiting on the mountain for lightning to strike.
