Poem 154: Memories (Weekly Post #18)


Memories

Captured in pictures
we call them photos

Engraved in our minds
  we refer them as souvenirs

Written in our journals
 we see them as treasures

Published in books
   we let them be part of history

Memories yesterday
Memories today
Memories tomorrow

Poem 145: Listening (Weekly Post #17)

Listening

Opposite to pride
               embodies in itself
Obedience breaking
               breaking every barrier
To let forth the showers of
               Humility bathe the soul
Called to listen
               Led to practice it thoroughly
and entrusted the gift of Listening.

Poem 137: Worries (Weekly Post #16)

Worries

Flying around you like bees
Biting you like mosquitoes
creeping in our minds at the
image of horror movies
Let us name them
      one by one
all worries
    and
surrender them
Entirely
   to
God
Let them be crushed
like the serpent
under our Lady's feet

Poem 130: Transition (Weekly Post #15)


Transition

Sort, collect, throw
Dust, clean, sweep
Empty, wash, walk,
Pace, run, hurry

We are transitioning

Papers, manual, digital
Trees, computers, devices
Noises, singers, clappers
Busses, drivers, cars

We are transitioning
