Soar:                                       

Red tail and red shoulder hawks

Osprey   heron   swan

Have graced my home skies

 

Two bald eagles’ soar

Against crystal a blue sky

Majestic blessings

Appreciated

 

Hope soars eternal!

In the eye of the eagle

Limitlessness is

I am Lorraine

 I am Lorraine                         

I was sacrificed as the first-born female to the god of property and prosperity

Indentured there forth to keep the borders intact

Against all hardship, annoyances, and conditions

 

 

That is why I am named of battle and land

After the province, Joan of Arc fought to hold

“Made famous in battle” by German tongue

In Latin, I am “Sea ...

Change is good

 

She said -- change is good!

I’ve said it before

Drenched in frustration

Trapped in dedication

With a windowless view

 

When change happens

When change overtakes

The body – The heart

And the time comes…

 

Mothers know it

There’s no holding it back

Without pain and suffering

When the time comes…

 

When the winds blow

When the lava flows

Crazy soup

Beyond logic

Beyond reason

Beyond the science of life

 

Crazy drama

Crazy rules

Crazy, crazy, crazy soup

 

Drown out truth

Drown out agenda

Drown out curiosity

 

Formed in the Pisces-ian kitchen

Flavored with the age of Aquarius

Finished with a drizzle of…

Future is yours to savor

I know what time it is

I know what time it is

A new wall-clock’s

Hands move ever so slowly

As the hour passes quickly by

Mesmerizing my attention

 

Each life choice seems small

Each breath almost effortless

Until hindsight enlarges

Magnifying the moments

Of our lives – highlighting the times

When we held our breath

 

Life is long

Even when time is short

Seconds slow

Over

Out all night, at the Madhatter’s Birthday Party

Validating the quantum-ness of the White Rabbit

Enjoying the deep waters because I know how to swim

Reverie aside … I realize my passion

Planetary prerogative

Planetary prerogative             Lorraine Settanni  4/19/20

 

 

Hurricanes, floods

Earthquakes, tsunamis

Drought, devastation…

Moved humanity to explore

Grow and evolve

 

A vulnerable species

Learning to survive

Climate changes,

Infestation of poisonous

Plants, insects, and animals

 

The air we breath

Always home to free-floating

Microorganisms

5-7-5 thoughts

Do you know the cost?

How many prayed for it?

The price of world peace

 

 

What did you expect

It would take to initiate

Global Awareness?

 

One-hundred-year drought

One-hundred-year flu

Hard energetic reboot

Sourdough Bread

Colonies of

Cooperation

Float in mid-air

Unseen

 

Harvested by

Caretakers

Like magic

Become food

 

crusty, tangy, sweet

shaped by a baker’s hand

buttery comfort

Stay Safe?

SAFE?

When has any human been safe?

Lions, Tigers, and Bears… OH MY!

Mosquitos, Ticks, Killer Bees…

Cancer, Bacteria, Viruses…

But the greatest of these

Has always been humans

 

This is the High Holiday Time

For most of our belief systems

A remembrance of great - Unsafe times

When the masses were protected

And individuals’ sacrificed

We lived to see another d...
