JANUARY 2022 -- Sojourners

This month's poem was inspired by those who throughout the years dreamed of what our world might one day be.

 SOJOURNERS

We exist as sojourners

Temporary inhabitants

Of a blue-green orb

Spinning in and out

Of the tendrils of choice

For choice is the key

And time the limit

Leaving those who follow

To look back and determine

Whether our lefts or rights

Proved to be decisions

That improved this world

Even in small ways. 

                  *******

 A HAIKU FOR THE TIMES

Humanity thrives

When the needs of the many

Top the needs of me
