Truth

It fell onto my keyboard so I went with it.

who is I--

dust that spirals lazily in the sunlight

a lost spool of thread already replaced

sunlight filtered through a filigree of leaves

a silver spoon left to tarnish

what does it mean--

humanity in the face of adversity

a tearful prayer finally answered 

kindness in a storm of anguish

shelter from a negative host

We----

mighty as an ant

swift as a bee

thorough as a spider

gentle as a butterfly

(I choose My Truth

and together We connect)

it is not a matter of who We are-

but rather what We will stand for--

an I is only a shout into the void---

but We is a chorus in harmony----

the dissonance of the raging I-----

irate voice among concordant We----

will not detract from Our melody---

the untuned I will not silence Truth--

no single note can destroy Justice-

no lone voice can change You(r Truth)

I see, I hear, I feel... the minute vibrations of a frozen puddle of estivating frogs, dreaming of a spring to come, dreaming of the magnificent chorus of croaking, that symphony of sounds that ensure the next generation will be what it should; liberated, declaring, "You(r Truth)" to the world.

Mighty fine poem, young lady. Might fine.

So, which way does the wind blow from these days? By the way, these blueberry muffins are delicious! I especially like the added nuts and squirrel festives. Mmmm! :) Aww! Isn't that cute... the little parlor bear is napping in his noodles. {sigh}

The wind blows a bit north... and upside down. Not uncommon this time of year on this planet! But still. We suffer through. :) I am glad the muffins please you, sir! The squirrels are most excitable when the wind is all wrong side up... The parlor bear happens to enjoy your napping noodles very much, indeed! *pats the bear*
