smooth as glass
calm complacncy
the pond lies quietly
undisturbed
silent
splash
water ripple chaos
pebble disruptor
crud and rude
myopic
promises launched
accusations spat
some embrace
some irritate
disruption
silence lost
ripples call
pebble drops
to blog bottom
mud sludge
mud once sleeping
wake to voice
confusion hastes
aware now
speak
mirky unclarity
wild vocality
the pond boils
disturbed
loud
This is my truth. We float here in anticipation of the future of America united we stand. Um, united we stand. With the election our quiet pond became disturbed. Ripples from all angles began to form as the pebbles were tossed out with ignorance and anger. Many made their voices heard stripping bare; a protest. Many yelled back for a new way. And yet, more shied in their safe zones in the mud. Yet, the pebbles kept dropping to the bottom of the pond to wake the voiceless, to bring up the ugly truths, to unite those who once thought were solo. Our pond of America, the United States of America, is stirred up. It is mirky and muddy. It is unclear. My folks, it is my truth that this is a good thing. It is unsettling, unclear, yet prudent. We are not aware of pain or joy if we don't call out. So now the silent mud is awake. Be awake. Listen. Share. Meditate. And love your neighbor. We are united as we are humans. Let us be the models of compassion and honor in the face of uncertainty.
