Building Bridges

Bridges

Wide Gaps
Open Spaces
Nothing between place and places

Open Air
Deep Ravine
Both with scenes that are pristine

Countries Many
Connections Few
Each side has their point of view

You’re There
I’m Here
Can we make a bridge appear?

Open Hearts
Open Minds
Meeting people of all kinds

My Thoughts
Your Intentions
Growing knowledge sharing inventions

Strong Bridges
Closing Gaps
Making Connections that won’t collapse

Covered Bridges
Wooden Floors
Opening windows, opening doors

Arms open
People Meet
Shaking hands as we great

Opposing Sides
Joining Middle
Life’s about giving a little

Fears Lift
Hands Reach
Joining together we can teach

Shores Meet
Mountains Unite
Bridges Form as we look to the Light

Son Shines
Clouds Part
Bridges form from heart to heart

Rainbow Hope
Easing Strife
Common ground will make New Life

Look Within
Look Above
Fill the world with Unconditional Love

Peace Begins
Forgiveness Find
Bridges unite all Human Kind

A Leaf falls....

A LEAF FALLS, DOES ANYONE HEAR?

Solar Refuse
Global warming
Natural disasters
A leaf falls, does anyone hear?

Toxic waist
World hunger
Resource shortages
A leaf falls, does anyone hear?

Nations Fight
Politicians lie
Hatred’s taught
A leaf falls, does anyone hear?

Borders close
Friendships challenged
Greed rules
A leaf falls, does anyone hear?

Religious conflicts
Forgotten people
Families’ dysfunction
A leaf falls, does anyone hear?

Addictive behaviors
Self destruction
Lost compassion
A leaf falls, does anyone hear?

Doors slam
Mothers weep
Fathers leave
A leaf falls, does anyone hear?

Babies cry
Anger’s spoken
Children withdraw
A leaf falls, does anyone hear?

Days end
Nights fall
Silence comes
A leaf falls, does anyone hear?

Moons rise
Awareness begins
Thoughts come
A leaf falls, does anyone hear?

Arms reach
Fingers touch
Hands held
A leaf falls, does anyone hear?

People listen
Hearts open
Communication begins
A leaf falls, does anyone hear?

Apologies accepted
Forgiveness given
Healing starts
A leaf falls, does anyone hear?

Differences honored
Promises kept
Hope returns
A leaf falls, does anyone hear?

Laughter’s heard
Rainbows felt
Life breathes
A leaf falls, does anyone hear?

Love flows
Light shines
Peace reigns
A leaf falls, someone heard
