Where Will It End?
“Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.”- Martin Luther King Jr.
Blue Madonna tainted, scorned
devoured by the demands of the world
now she’s but a shell weary and worn
a skeleton where once flesh and bone
flourished in the light of sunshine and love
Now hateful words spew forth spilling
blood if skin is not the color of your own
a country divided… the blessed credo
‘Love One Another’ torn apart and
women are not valued for their worth
So Mother Earth sighs from all the abuse
as she’s beaten into a climactic submission
and everyone cries- ‘What’s the use
I’m only one person, what can I do?’
but what we fail to realize is this…
It starts with me and you and you

Golden Calm
a certain calm
in summer’s passing
flowers
milkweeds release tufts of seed
floating on the summer breeze
flat seas
with the butterfly’s flight
a certain calm
thrum of buzzing honey bees
dawn treads in with light footsteps
the hour silent
before the birds awake
waves on sand
a sand crab leaves a lone trail
sea glass glints in golden dawn

Author’s Note: This is my response to the weekend meditation at Carpe Diem. We are challenged to write a Tan Renga. A Tan Renga looks like a Tanka, but is written by two poets instead of one poet. It’s a kind of chained poem. I had to create the second stanza of each Tan Renga.

Abstract
A silvered sheaf of moonlight
spills through the barren trees
dancing across the forest floor
calypso leaves dressed in finest hues
–Moonlight orchestra–
Abstract haunting melodies
in shades of persimmon
bronze- fire- amber harmonizing
as they howl to the wolf blood moon
