all that we see
we try to find rhythm
sort out our wordsthe same attempt
the same cadenceagain and again
again we scratch on
the empty pagefilling time with
disjointed memoriesall that we own
all that we knowall that we see
if only our breath
on a chilly morningwhat will become of our day?

night thoughts 1:41 a.m.
Everything is always about
something else. Even those
murky cogitations at 1:41 a.m.
are not about what should be
my true concerns, but rather
an excuse to deal with my
awareness and an unlikely
return to sleep anytime soon.
If this doesn’t keep me awake,
something else surely will.12/02/2022 j.g.l.

season of peace
Can we make peace with
ourselves, with our neighbours
or those we don’t know, of
another culture or faith, even
those feeling the effects of
this harsh reality where
hatred is spoken freely?Can we make peace by
simply wishing, wanting, and
waiting for the right time?
Would we even recognize the
time in the midst of all the
horrors we continue to witness
day to day to on this earth?Will we manifest peace in
our hearts, in this world, in a
merciless attempt to defy odds,
to prove the naysayers wrong;
even if only for the time we
are even allowed to do so?Can this be a season of peace?
Are there enough of us here who
might do a little more today,
are there enough of us who
really believe in possibilities?
Is this now the time for peace?12/01/2022 j.g.l.

Direction uncertain,destination unknown
or definiteWe share
the same sky.Look up,

If only for your self.
