Poem 157: Secheresse (Weekly Post #19)

Sècheresse

Que toutes ses saisons nous coûtent
énormément sans pouvoir les adoucir
Épargnons pour les jours de soif
Remplissons nos calebasses d'eau

Ne gaspillons point car viendrons
les jours arides, les jours de sècheresse
les tempêtes s'acharneront - Eh oui!
Nos vrais amis nous tiendrons par la main

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
