Since February’s

been such a puzzle can we

expect something else from March?

~

March has ever been

a famed harbinger of change;

maybe this year, for the best?

Hot Air Chills

Posted by 2garrabrants

As days grow longer;

vacillate ‘tween hot and cold,

what but flowers grow confused?

~

The whole planet knows

something’s up except for those

whose motto is “deny and die”.

Climate Visionaries

Why can they not see

That they are changing climates

when they build climates of fear?

~

Those who build climates

of fear have a vision of

control, not of sight.

Winds of Change

Should we be ready

for inclement weather if

climate change deniers win?

~

Rough seas and strong winds

will buffet many dreams and

tatter our prosperity.

Through This Lens

What does poetry

have to offer to a world

in such dire need?

~

Though poetry can’t

change the world’s great need, it can

change the way the need’s perceived.

Facing Eternity

As the leaves begin

to change, might we imitate

nature and change too?

~

Is this our time to

wither upon the stem and

fall into winter’s embrace?

Assessing Obsolescence

How do we shift gears

when we’re stuck in park and can’t

seem to get moving?

~

Perhaps shifting gears

is simply insufficient.

Maybe we need to switch cars.

Habituation

Even though we know

nothing is permanent, what

is it that makes change so hard

~

Taking a new road

always seems to take more time

than the old, well traveled path.

Running Hot And Cold

As days shorten and

weather cools, how long before

we miss the heat of summer?

~

When it grows cold and

we lose electricity,

you can bet we’ll miss the heat.

If you had a chance

to make a real difference,

where would you begin?

All We Have

When lives fall apart,

how do we reconcile

what is with what was?

~

Sometimes willingness,

courage, and grace are all we

have to see us through.

Wisdom of the Reed

Posted by 2garrabrants

When reason fails and

bluster holds sway, how can we

make a difference?

~

Bend while the gale blows,

Knowing that the breeze will pass.

Rigid trunks will be broken.

A Limb and a Prayer

Posted by 2garrabrants

When we so yearn for

solid ground, what will help us

 on this uneven terrain?

~

For a species born

in trees, unused to ground,

surely comfort can be found.
