Mist rises gently
Forming cloudy reservoirs
Hydrating the land
Low cloud. Rolling grassy hills with trees around a body of water.

A lush forest stream
With clear reflections
An ideal place to dream
Stream lined by trees and ferns, with reflections in the water. Cloudy sky.

Indulging in kindness
Earning peace at last

Darkness clouds the human heart
Hatred hides in the shadows
Only light can overcome
Sunlight streaming through a tree. Path bending to the left. Mountains in the background.

Basking in the sun
My soul longs to run free
Like a wild horse
Wild horses in the desert. Light brown horse looking back. Dark brown horses grazing

The setting sun closes the day
Dawn gives life and hope

Love is the catalyst
To undo misunderstanding
And embrace humanity

#vssdaily #ready #poem #poetry #blueskypoet #blueskypoetry #love #compassion #unity

Are we ready
To lay down our hatred
Find common ground
Sit down and listen
To our sisters and brothers

Are we ready
To discover our humanity
Embrace compassion and curiosity
Let go of cruelty
Give each other love

Resting
Thankful for finding you

I had looked into the wrong eyes
Placed trust where it didn't belong

When you had been there
All this time....

Waiting for me
