Premium Member Hope For Respect
My thought for this day,
although still early,
is respect for hope.

Respect for our interdependence
and respect for our challenging differences,
important, yet hopefully not as powerful
as our interdependent love for healthy life.

Yesterday
I noticed a brown cardboard box
in the...

Premium Member Let Love Create Rainbows In Your Speech
 Hey you
Don't let hate dominate.
Let love sate - animate

With the pain in your heart.
Set it free from the start.
Let it go, let it part.
An ugly form of art.
That don't make you look too smart.

forgetting all the women who
indulged them through a night of tricks

their eyes a wild mascara mix)

Astonished by the dazzling sight
You brought tears to my eyes as always

an aching breaking heart – mine
remembers four extinguished breaths.

Your tears are beautiful,

to triumph over the souls that eat...
