*Order*
All things battle
Ants with spiders
Spiders with flies
Flies with us
But above the churn of chaos
The seesaw of victory and defeat
Order holds the balance
Confidently measuring
And weighing
With a steady hand
Sitting beside her
Is to know peace.

Late afternoon view across a green field towards the sun which is hiding behind some dramatic cloud scape. Trees in black line the horizon, a bright yellow-orange strip between trees and clouds, the blue sky visible top right. Sorry, this is a mess of a description …
The sky just now gave it everything, all at once. 💙🩶💛💚

The beauty of the landscapes that is good to observe.💙🌳💚
Soon there will be lambs signs of spring light chasing calves chasing each other even the fallen trees bring new life soon there will be lambs wild garlic transforms the woods nettles regrow the world beyond desolate cold
Ju's #promptcombo #free40 this morning was tricky! I had a go at something seasonal, trying to remember that the real world rests and restores regardless of human ignorance and stupidity. Thanks @hool415.bsky.social for the prompt I'll try to read others later! #poems #poetry #writingcommunity

*Defiance*
There will always be life
Eking its way
Through cracks in the mortar
Or gaps in the concrete
Standing defiantly
In polluted fields
Shaking off the filth
And saying,
“I will not be denied
My right to live.”

*Conversation*
In the middle
Of a conversation
She took out
Her phone
And forgot
I was there
And I knew
Humanity
Was lost
And we had
A long way
To go
To get
Back home.

When you weave your life
into the rhythms of nature
it nourishes you with a quiet
bountiful abundance
that never runs dry.

The granite crag
Rising from the dirt
Born defiant against the elements
And old before it has known time
A sentinel barring fleeting thoughts
And cries of insignificance
Turning its face to the wind and rain
Welcoming the sun and cold
And waiting in its immortal stance
For a climber

Old things
Are the noblest
For they have lived
Among the dark and light
Through seasons
Of cold and heat
Eaten from barren soil
And become swollen
From abundance
These things
Have steadied their hands
And slowed their pace
Because they understand
That all things pass
And things will be alright

*Empty Space*
I think of the emptiness of space
Infinite and free from matter
Devouring all that it welcomes
While promising endless real estate
And consuming thoughts of self
Then I take a sip of coffee
And wonder what’s in the news
