day 20 … a tiny glimmer

By Kat Myrman

Not gonna lie. Today is going to be a dark day for many of us. Sometimes we find glimmers deep inside. It’s worth guarding. To all keepers of the embers of hope, love, peace, justice…we are one. Hold onto the light so that others may find their way out of this present darkness. Peace, love and glimmers to you.

And in the words of a great man whose life we commemorate today…

“Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.”

~Martin Luther King, Jr.

frozen over

I was there
the day hell
froze over
when demons raided
our hallowed halls
to crown their king
laughing
in the face 
of liberty
her torch 
extinguished
by the tears
of our mothers
as decades 
were blotted out
by a sharpie scribble
when the halls of justice
usurped by profiteers
sold their souls
and ours 
to the highest bidder
filling their pockets
with coins of bit
someday 
if my children’s
children’s, children
should wonder 
please tell them
I was there that day
face bitter to the wind
guarding the embers
of faith, hope, and love
in my soul
in my dna
that they might 
one day
find a spark
in their heart 
to lead them back
to the light
