It is human intelligence, or perhaps, a lack of

Which creates a sea, of uncertainty around us

Perchance, we could try, to mitigate tempers

And make this world, a bit more magnanimous!

 

Author’s note:  If you are detecting a pattern to these posts, you would be correct.  The world needs more kindness….and it needs it now.

Originally shared three years ago, I thought this poem fit Michael’s prompt “Orbit”, perfectly.

cave-912219_960_720
This rock is now my home, a place
I travel on, through outer space

A flight to galaxies, still unknown
Adventures, by myself, alone

Standing in the open air
I see Jupiter, floating there

Watching me, a leery eye
As I go quietly, drifting by

In awe of all the mysteries
On this planet, I can see

Ribbons of waves across, a band
Could I ever walk this land?

Shall I journey far across?
And glide, just like an albatross

In an atmosphere, unconfined
Perhaps, a chance to just unwind

Or should I stay here, bide my time
In this universe, quiet, sublime

It should never be a chore, to show kindness

You have the power, to create happiness

It’s so much easier when you remain affable

It’s the key to your dreams, your success!

Friday Fantasy ~ La Lune – #poetry – #whatdoyousee?

The lovely Helene of Willow Poetry has challenged us with “What do you See?”.  You may write a poem, haiku, tanka or short story that represents what you see or feel within you.  More info can be found in the link below.


Ah, the festival of lights, to honor La Lune

He had waited to see them, soaring high

And the gods of the sky, all came to watch

Showing their presence, in an Earthly sky

One by one, the glow of the lanterns flew

From streets below, to the heavens above

With the planets dancing, as planets do

Once again, with the sky, he’d found his love

Gazing into the night, allowed him to dream

The possibilities were endless, he was sure

As long as the gods, were pleased with these gifts

Something, he always hoped, he had procured

Broken pieces, like splinters, are the shards we bear

We carry them around, within us, as if we didn’t care

Ah, but we do, although completely onerous, at times

These are the things about us that make us so sublime
