more collateral damage adds up
in the middle east as humans try
to measure out right and wrong
by using bullets and rockets to
bring about peace and happiness
a blue morpho flies somewhere in
the deep forests of central america
bringing joy to anyone who might see
it or to the trees and rivers and tapirs
wings of irradescence radiating
the hope of change is soon coming
to america and oprah is putting her
best life forward hoping to be her
true self honoring who she is meant
to be no different than you and me
true to that and wanting it all to feel
so right is not so easy when you are
counting crows on a treetop while
drinking beers as the train rolls up along
the wabash on a dreary january day
some roam from place to place while
others find themselves in being
in the same locale year after year
unwanting of change or losing sight
of what is familiar and comfortable
ethiopia says its pulling out of somalia
which means the way back to addis is
via the ogaden where thousands of ethnic
somalis living in ethiopia’s political borders
get in the way of more collateral damage
in el boqueron i saw a blue morpho for
a few seconds of life and felt a sense of
chance of a lifetime and found happiness
in moments of now and not wanting more
than what was present at that moment
some robins have not flown away for
the winter and i am assuming it might
have something to do with global warming
or maybe they like it here and do not
want to leave central indiana this year
more tea on the horizon to bring a
calmness to the day and to kick up some
caffeine in the form of goodness for the
mind and body and soul by living out the
slowing down and considering all of life
