Diminutive ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #90

Diminutive
Am I within
This grand design
Of laws and matter

Such that I
Go travelling
A great expanse
Or one so seeming

In truth
A journey of
A thousand miles
Is hardly more than one

In a universe
Far wider still
Than light
Has ever gone

Magic Hour

Magic hour
In a land
Of no small magic
Conspires to create
Tableaus of beauty
Inimitable

Evanescent ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #89

Celestial cyclic moment
With every day arise
As starlight crests horizon
Seeking eastern skies

Awakened human spirit
A grace divine replies

The night is done
New day is come

I breathe in deep
Exhale a grateful sigh

Infinity ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #88

I seek the moments
When the infinite
Becomes the infinitesimal

When the All
Which is everything
Becomes the One
Which is nothingness

I seek the moments
When paradox
Becomes awareness

Then am I filled
With the insight of mystery
The light of darkness
Then being becomes non-being

Heroes

Words
I love them

All the many ways we use them
All the many ways they come to me
All the many ways they coalesce

Promoting insight
Undermining ignorance
Evoking feeling
Forming meaning

Hero
A word of nuance
Of many meanings
Of differences
Subtle and grave

Lotus Petals

Petals fallen
To dimpled pond
Where raindrops gather
On lotus pads
A thousand diamonds glittering
Under slate grey skies

Rain quells nature’s sounds
No songbirds sing
No children shout
Ours are the only ears
To hear
The gentle white-noise patter
Of rainfall
Coming back to Earth

Heart ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #87

I make no room
In my heart
For hate

Poetry by Patrick JenningsMay 12, 20177:00 am

Swagger

Swagger
Chutzpah
Presence

A small man
Of no small mass

A big heart
A wise soul
Both worn
Close to the surface

Feng Shui Calm

Rain on lotus pad
Pitter-patter droplets caught
Little waterfall

Monkey Business

I remember a time
When simply breathing
Was dangerous

A time before
The Clean Air Act of 1970
The Environmental Protection Agency
Which gave the Act bite
And enforced its many regulations

I am reminded of that time
When I travel to countries
Which ignore the science
Or have no political will
To preserve the Earth
Which sustains us
