WERE WE TO BE (for Greta Thunberg)

                                                                 (graphic:  Marec ((404))

WERE WE TO BE

Doctors of our lives

We would focus our fierce intelligence

on the only balm for our fearful existence –

          Love

          for all

          creation.

We would find

our daily dose

of good sense to offset

the nonsense

          that

          merchants

          power-mad

                    &

          false-do-gooders

peddle

where e’er we roam.

We would have eyes to see

dog on her haunches

sharing a joke with hummingbird

         

          under

          blue sky

          quarter moon

          beautiful dream morning.

Each moment passes

precious

connect the dots

connect

the

dots

worlds

will

end

but

not just yet.

          Amen.
