Shore

 

+

You've always given me

Wherewith to land,

Lily pads lined up

Across this Red Sea...

"Partings"? ...I suppose,

But more often "Leapings"...

Less of Faith,

More often of the Frog variety...

Leap after Leap

After longing Leap...

It's been so So long,

Since

I've known

Shore.....

+

Build me a boat...

 

+

Heal my heart

Sew the sails

Patch its hull

Sturdy as steel...

Speak to the storm,

"Peace, Be Still."

Trade me a course

For the chaos...

Make the Water not so Wide

Make the Beast

Shine with Beauty again

And paint on her helm 

the lovely name,

now far away,

and too long

 forgotten...

Domestic Terrorists' Lives Don't Matter

+

 No,

They are not "Protestors"

(That soft sell with which we've disguised those

Declaring war on our country from within)

Call it what it is.

They are Domestic Terrorists

Who have hijacked our lives

And all we hold dear.

Time to treat them as such,

Because OUR lives DO matter.
