He said it well.
Farewell Justice
You fought with words and logic—
powerful weapons for justice
in reasonable times
but it’s easier to manipulate
some folks by advertising fear.
You struggled for so long
and now to honor your memory,
we must continue the battle,
to march in the streets,
to cast our ballots,
to assure your legacy is not erased.
You weren’t in the majority on the court—
but you represented all of us,
We the People.
Coins tinkled in the Simpson’s pot
To the echo of the metal clang
Until denseness from piled coins
And greenbacks, filled the kettle
Brass bands played into the night
As souls were grateful to give back
…..

Many summers ago, in Iowa’s July heat, we spent a day.
Sun baking my freckled skin, I knelt in the wild strawberry patch.
My friend nearby, reminding me when I wearied, of the promise.
As night came, and we were back to our Illinois homestead,
we set the table with whipped topping centermost.
With growl inducing scents of batter to steam
from the waffle iron, we started losing our cool.
Sitting at the table, holding holds for grace,
we were indeed grateful for our day,
Ending with strawberry waffles.
,,,,,,
Lose me now in the mists of the last rains of summer
kissing the edges of fall, warming my heart and soul
leaving behind the persevering dripples of sweat
opening the doors to the scents of mud sliming away
and earth once more recycles to a new season
oh fall, how you warm my soul and cool by brow
slink into my life, once more with hope
for yet another life of joy
and let the winter’s glow call me forth
but only after I gently pace the shadows of falling leaves.

And there you have it! TTOT in a poem this week. 🙂
Balance begins early.
Building blocks of wood.
Bombies blasted with taws.
Beams balancing in gym class.
Be it what it may, it all leads
to vocation.
