haiku my heart

 

 

no talk of summer

while mothers arms are empty

let our children go

 

summer solstice

longest day of the year

everyone swimming

in unabashed delicious light..

but all i can think about are the endless nights

of these children

these parents

and the cruel heartless despicable

zero-tolerance policy.

today

when the sun reached its highest point

in the noon sky-

our country fell to an all time low.

 

 haiku my heart 

families belong together

We live in dark times. All the more reason for us to let our light, no matter how feeble, shine.

And so we gather here... a family of sorts holding the shorn threads of our humanity, finding the cracks where the light gets in no matter how broken. Each small word reminds me why I am here. Why we are here. Humbled by the huge work that is still before us. Thank you Rebecca for your passionate heart and for bringing us together. XOXOXO

Despicable.

I took a cue from your haiku, Rebecca, and wrote one of my own that reflects the atrocities that are being enacted daily at our border with Mexico.

My prayer, too!! Amen!

So sad indeed

The people have spoken and the great Orange has heard. Reluctantly and with selective hearing, but heard!

Thank you Rebecca for this peaceful place to light upon during our hectic hours.

Your post and haiku says it all ~ 'the man' is not fit for the 'office' ~ children suffering ~ sooooo sad!

Healing energy for all,
