All Shall Be Well

by 2 Comments

 

 Self-important leaders posture,

 

Pond mist rising,

 

birds chattering.

 

All shall be well.

 

 

 

Black baseball player taunted while

 

honeysuckle

 

perfumes the air.

 

All shall be well.

 

 

 

President praises dictators.

 

High hawks soaring

 

cyclists coasting.

 

All shall be well.

 

 

 

Isis bombs convoy, friend’s grandson

 

stands up for right.

 

Tall grass swaying,

 

shadows dancing.

 

 

 

ALL SHALL BE WELL.

    Lovely, Betty – a broader perspective that makes room for joy in the midst of pain.

    i’ll hold that thought. inhale, exhale, think these words (or say them aloud): all shall be well. repeat as needed for the rest of my life.
    blessings,
