Nabhan

 To honor thee, your actions they do  , 

Your greatness in your actions ,  

Made it bright for a moment ,maybe  

Amidst  the daily grim realities  , in  the rising dust ... 

Now to rest among the stars ,with Reem  again ...

We , honor thee, with small  compassionate act, we try,

Yet we fail , as despair grips our daily grinds,

Shall strive to do it again tomorrow , each day  again...

Our Souls

 I read Margaret Renid's opinion ...how to keep your own soul safe in the dark. I had decided to stop writing alittle while back, but it spurred me to again write. My thoughts are  simplified at this point, 'what good can be had if I do  not write , to not spill some bits of my soul's questions on to a page , what good will it be...to have my thoughts to be  kept locked up in a box , which will only burden and weigh down my soul... 

It is good to feel part of a silent group , to keep hope alive 'that good people working together will bring about changes for the better' .I had consciously turned off all media for a while , esp the news cycles that just repeats and talks at you , may be they like to hear their own voices, I am not so sure though...

I want to retain my hope . I see  a blue jay in the yard picking up some 'bug whose time is come', as my mother would have said to the little child in me .There is hope in natures every moment, nothing is inconsequential in nature   

 I vacillate between the child who wish for the security of the known everyday of a past , with no harm to any living or non living things here on earth and the adult me who take change as a given , change being a definite requirement for nature. 

Therein lies my dormant hope despite the fear for health of the public with vaccine deniers at the helm  and the fear for an unravelling destroyed nature by climate deniers and greedy businesses. But the little child's hope in me that used to marvel at the vastness of the universe by looking up at the night sky now look at the night sky that hide all the stars and the great milkyway in the light pollution from this earth and still wish  nature will reset  itself beyond the un-caring puny humans around me . When I look up in the sky  and see the stars I know nature will take over and I just hope that it will be soon . In the meantime , I shall continue with the little things I do... try to leave a smaller carbon foot print -yes I know it takes effort, but I can put a little extra effort to leave this place less damaged than if I didn't care  .

As I look around my neighborhood , I know I am doing what is right  by my soul , and even if I am the only one around here I have to continue for I have to keep my soul's light alive deep inside me  in these dark times  ...
