Morning 10/16/17

Must we be willing to accept horror as though
nothing can be done about it?

Go to bed early and you will wake up early.
If you wake up early you might see the sky
just before the full measure of dawn. You
will hear the stillness of morning, the birds
waking and speaking, and the quiet of a
silent home. The day arrives unspoken and
lets itself in.

There is a dream of peace
There is a dream of freedom
Yet can these dreams become flesh?
How much unkindness we foster
against one another
And for what reason?
And for what possible good?
Creatures of such potential
yet how do we spend on our time here?
I rest and rise and repeat this
over and over again hoping
that we get closer to an ideal
worth striving towards
worth becoming living reality

Remember those who must bear
