A Measure of Mood

Posted by 2garrabrants

1

Could writing poems

be our antidepressant 

of choice when the times are rough?

~

That, and our downers

when euphoria erupts!

 Like lyrical lithium.

Meaning Enough

Posted by 2garrabrants

0

Must we seek meaning

in the eyes of that Divine

lest we find despair?

~

 Where love is present,

the eyes of the Divine shine

and banish despair.

Hubris Parallax

0

Why do we mistake

 human interpretations

for divine exhortations?

~

“Made in God’s image”

leads us to believe we see

through the Divine’s eyes.

For Starters

Posted by 2garrabrants

0

Can we not wake up,

after all the gluttony ,

to some human compassion?

~

Perhaps we should start

with one simple intent – to

give as well as get.

Redistribution

What should the little

piggy who has roast beef do

when some little piggies have none?

~

Invite them over!

Roast beef tastes much better with

a little bacon garnish.

Finding Comfort

Posted by 2garrabrants

0

When fear and hunger

bring out the worst in us all,

how can we find harmony?

~

Harmony may be

a stretch, but we can begin,

as others have, with a song.

Love and Terror

Posted by 2garrabrants

0

 Do we want to be

governed by love or fear –

A choice for all seasons?

~

Love’s warm governance

steadies the terrorized heart 

when fear’s icy grasp returns.

Beyond Disaster

What can poets do

to soften blows and mend wounds

when disaster strikes?

~

Poets remind us

of eternal verities

and the depths within.

Reason’s Greedings

Posted by 2garrabrants

0

Is it true you’ve been

designing cups of reason 

for the holiday season?

~

Reason, being scarce,

did not need designer cups

so I sought absurd instead.

What Serves

Posted by 2garrabrants

0

Since some things remain

eternal and unchanging,

must we be more flexible?

~

Openness serves us

when dealing with certainties

of whatever kind.
