 No Nada

Even if i'm sad

I will not cry

Enough is enough

My station is empty


Should morning evade birdsongs

I will not scowl

Nor shush the daymoon away


When it rains

I will not join in

With my lonely memories

Caring for yesteryears


Is it not the nature of life

To spin changes through

Ever occuring joy and sorrow

No i will not make a fuss

Not Sure
I stand at the threshold pondering,
Sometimes a no is not only harsh,
And not only intimidating,
It provokes a question, why,
If at the threshold pondering,
Not sure if this door opens out,
It is absolutely confusing,
Not sure if this door opens in,
I am not just debating,
Why is there even a door?
Not sure,at the threshold pondering.

['Contemplating Peace Carolyn M. Abrams Art' from google]

OF PEACE
The wings of the butterfly are not still
They are white, flapping in the breeze
The colour of the sky is not overcast
It is the azure of a bright sunny day

The absence of birdsong is not disturbing
It is fleeting and transient
They will be there again maybe in a second
Maybe in an hour, who knows

The quality of peace is not turmoil
It is the assembling and arranging
Of everything into a channel of hope
Of gratefulness and of satisfaction

Monday WRites 158


'WE BEAT' CLOSURE
Wind, is not who has stolen the vibe,
Nor Mocking Birds frolicking through pruned Ixoras.
It is just a time of capsized-jouvert ending.
Another end May-into-June festival time timed-out
To closure, but this year on a new note.
The folk has had earful of calypso and pan;
Belly full of corn soup, roti,
Ribald and rhetoric, staged under light of moon.
A count of days, till next year, that is all.
Now the festival of 'we beat' is over.
