“Magic lies in challenging what seems impossible.”  Carol Moseley Braun

Real Unreality

Reality is never anything but
an imperfect substitution laid
across the psychic landscape,
set to fool the mind’s eye,
a fickle reign, until
depth calls to depth
an un-curated magic of soul
from the crucible of rituals,
a real unreality of
healing disruption.

Love behold, love be bold…

johncoyote

A Poem by Coyote Poetry

Poetry for the new book, The island.

                                 Love behold, love be bold

I told Nicole, you awoke my slumbering heart. I love your beautiful face, your womanly curves and the elegant of your words when you speak. I love your tattoos on your soft and tender skin, they make me wish and dream of you. You are not ashamed of the lover touch and the longing of the kiss, the embrace. You adore the labor of love.

I remember her soft whispers, please dance with me by the light of midnight moon near the Lake Gichigana. The Bacchus wine will make us not fear the coldness of the lake and we will dance bare and proud for the moon and the stars.

I remember…

Our world… Old world, new world.

johncoyote

A Poem by Coyote Poetry

Just words

               Old world, new world

Old world is gone. Our world is quiet.

Today the streets are empty,

people are being kinder to each other.

Time for us to lead with concern, kindness and listen to each other.

I pray our new world,

we send water, food and medicine to countries in need.

Time for the leaders of our world to befriend each other.

Our children are watching.

I pray we create a new world,

where war is forgotten,

and human kindness is alive and well.

Our world

Grandchild played with other children at the beach.

He does not see the color of the other children skin and

he doesn’t question the children race or religion.

They built a great dam and a small city of sand.

Would be nice if…

Today’s prompt: “Poet’s lips”

Nothing ever surpasses
the fleeting beauty those lips carry
those intertwined crimson affair;
where orphan words and dejected verses
come for a safe haven

Seeking refuge in a world
full of chaos and dissonance
Nothing can give the bliss
of a milky frothy moonlight

to the fleeting thoughts in my reticent mind
morphing and molding them precariously
like the bony taloned fingers
molding clay on the potter’s wheels

Every amorphous beauty seeks…

The walk today was full of life.

Cherry Blossoms Blooming.

Children playing and having fun.

Laughter filled the airwaves,

Excitement ignite.

Squirrels seem to pause,

Hearing such a joyous occasion.

Breaking the cycle of being inside.

Caremongering – poem by Ali Grimshaw

flashlight batteries - Ali Grimshaw

house to house
neighbor to neighbor
kindness dissemination

this unstoppable virus of care
magical movement spread rampant

the isolated
blanketed with warmth
by open offers, action compassion

waves of encouragement through the window
one errand for survival at a time

an escalation of tenderness
