don't stop the birds
from flight

  or the trees from
  touching the sky

don't stop the
ladybugs from
eating aphids

   or the anole lizards
   from changing colors

don't stop the
whales from
migrating oceans

   or the caterpillars
   from emerging
   as monarchs

don't stop the
wildflowers from
blooming beauty

    or the moon for
    waxing her sphere

don't stop the
earth from turning

   or my heart from
   beating and listening
   to the sublime

and especially

don't stop the poets
from spreading
their ink everywhere!

imagine
all
heartbeats
beating
as one

taming  
mind
spirit
soul &
body

to the
sound
of peace
and well
being

and hearing
the earth
sigh

we
weave
poems

like
life rafts
floating
on the
sea

of
tears
fears
trails
of
virals
mirrors
see ers
sea
erganomics

to
be seen
or
not
to
seen

to
write
or
not
to
write

that
is
the
questi­on
