Lives killed by the creation
Pathological action againsty humanity
Where is the peace?

in Jesus
the Christ
there is
sweet
redemption,
i know,
for my
spottiest
scarlet
banner
and even,
i believe,
for him
who still
waves it
"'Come now, let us settle the matter,' says the LORD. 'Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool.'"
~ Isaiah 1:18

Elijah
The murk of society
engraving mortal deprivity
ruining the presence of peace.
And this is my haiku, saying that we are one, we all matter and violence should stop.

SøułSurvivør
dedicated to Vicki*

winter wind
blows down the hills
is caught up
in the knuckles
of gnarled trees
blasted
barren
reaching for the sky
reading the
Braille
stars

snowy branches
whispering
what
those books
filled with poetry
have taught
the roots
which reach
down
to
underground

streams


when
Springtime
educates the sun and
teaches it warmth
then will the
roots give life
to a spreading canopy
of new life

buds burst forth
with the
fragrance
of snow wind
and the
sweetness
of that
reservoir
of

tears*

The preservation of humans begins
when we all see each other
as souls
instead of bodies
with different skin.
