The Call

*

Can you hear the geese?

the wiring sounds

of so many wings

in motion

A Reminder

of unremitting Change

*

the punctuated Call:

we’re here, there’s water

let‘s settle

for a moment

*

can you hear the geese

she says again

Elated

the honking cacophony

passes overhead

lasting

like the passing of a train

*

the Sound

*

a crescendo swelling

then fading

into the twilight

of damp Earth

*

the punctuality

of Nature

driven by degrees

of Sunlight

a gland

pineal

*

can you hear them

she says

*

through and through

I reply

through and through

Heart Intelligence

Art Work by Yaron Rosner

*

There is Comfort in Believing

Good & Evil

Are Two Separate and Opposing Entities

Keeps Us Safe

in a Black and White World

*

Reality, however, is Different

Choices offer themselves

at Every Step:

to do the right thing

is Not always the Easy thing

*

Not Simply an act of random kindness

Rather

Means Seeing the Humanity

Facing You

*

that Person who has States of Mind

As You Do

Hunger, Insomnia,

As You Do

walks their dog

As You Do

suffers headaches

pangs of joy

As You Do

*

The Minute we SEE the Other

As Less

We Descend a Slippery slope

Perpetuating

Evil in the most Ordinary way

*

This SIGHT is a Choice

*

unquestioned

it becomes

a Way of Life

*
