day 298 ~ A ReVerse Poem

A ReVerse Poem ~ 26 October 2025

roots of grass
in horror, the world sees our once great nation fall
I was so hoping
the pain, the cruelty, the hate…
it’s hard to tell, to imagine the peril we're in
there is no limit (to)
the price I’d pay to send away
a certain orange man with tiny hands,
never trust a fool

Gentle Sunday to you. I’d like to imagine that we’ve seen the worst of it. That things will get better, but I know that’s wishful thinking on my part. Already the landscape and landmarks that chronicled the centuries old history of this nation have been irrevocably destroyed, dumped onto the dustheap of failed governments. 

But we the people are still here. We’re not going away.  Compassion, peace, respect, kindness and liberty are worth fighting for. 

And finally…last week wasn’t a complete disaster. Just look at those glimmers!

Much love, peace, and glimmers to you!

A ReVerse poem (a practice I started many years ago) is a summary poem with a single line lifted from each entry of a collection of work over a particular timeframe and re-penned in chronological order as a new poem. Unlike a collaborative poem, the ReVerse features the words of one writer, providing a glimpse into their thoughts over time. I use it here as a review of the past week.


day 297…a proper glimmer

As promised, a proper glimmer. Busy day out and about…voted…did some shopping…got my COVID shot (while they’re still available! And now I’m taking a moment to take it all in, to call it a day. It was a good day actually. But the is nothing better than this…Gabby snoring on my lap as I rest my eyes a bit. Ending today on a glimmer. We don’t deserve dogs. I realize how blessed I am to have charge over this loyal little soul.

May you have a lovely rest of your weekend. Much love, peace and glimmers to you!

day 295

vespers

here in the mountains all is well, the sun is setting
it’s hard to tell, to imagine the peril we're in
as I lay me down to sleep, I pray this alt-reality to keep

Some days, imagined glimmers are all that my heart can muster….we drift toward the light when our hearts are troubled.

Much love, peace and glimmers to you

day 294

asking for a friend

dear god,
I get it
I do…but
I was so hoping
the rapture was
a thing … … I waited
all day, but they are
STILL HERE!

This makes me so sad…so I wrote about it…

a reckoning…we were warned

he’s planning to stay in the white house, you know
paving rose gardens, wrecking east walls
in horror, the world sees our once great nation fall
while powerful cowards sell off their own souls
paving rose gardens, wrecking east walls
he’s planning to stay in the white house, you know

It’s a rollercoaster isn’t it? I had an appointment today. One of the rare times I head into town, leaving my house in the foothills. When I returned to my car this was on the front hood…

It’s a little acorn cap, right there for me to see. Of course, to me this was no ordinary acorn cap. In that moment, I imagined that a faerie just might have left it there for me to find…to show me that my beloved patch of land in the woods is never far away, even when I find myself in the city. I carry the woods with me in my heart and soul wherever I go. Actually I carry nature’s glimmers with me wherever I go…because, dare I say it…I am nature and nature is me…I am a glimmer!

That sounds a bit arrogant I’m thinking, but I feel that spark in me. Even on a day when the news is sad. Even amidst concrete and blacktop and bricks and mortar. Even in the midst of busy blank faces.

Much love, light, and glimmers to you.
