AsIsIf

It’s really this simple

Accept things as is

Interact with them powerfully

Understand all your choices

Decide upon your wishes

Eventually even your forests

Will be free from

Dead wood and overgrowth

Turning into a prairie

And filled with flowers

Might

I’ve settled into leaving

The goodbyes have begun

What started as anger

And disappointment at what

Didn’t work hadn’t happened

Has now turned into

What might just work

What might just happen

Positive things really do

Require our most might

GenZ

We almost lost everything

A mutiny was underway

Led by a despot

And joined by lunatics

Marching through the streets

Pitchforks and baseball bats

Weaponizing their own theology

Storming our democracy’s ideals

Pounding at the bastion

Praying for a miracle

And one indeed came

The same as Iran

The same as Russia

The same as Ukraine

GenZ took up arms

And claimed their future

Thank you worldwide GenZ

Earth belongs to you

JustSayIt

Love demands courage

It requires heart

To stand there

To say it

Without an echo

To remain standing

Accepting its consequence

To walk away

After hearing nothing

Love never replies

It’s only born

Whispers

I prefer to whisper

Let the others shout

Whispers mean as much

As all their roars

Tell me who hasn’t

Heard the whispers of

Snow falling or of

Rain on a pond

Or even of sunrise

Let the world holler

And hear me whisper

These very simple poems

My heart to yours
