The Other Side of the Gyre

News / tagged Dreams, Optimism, Peace / February 1, 2020 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

Sleep slow to come
from hours too many
and screens too much

Watching the turds of politics
swirling in the flush

Shift to scene
of peace and green

Two birds entwined
in courtship bliss

Softly land
on outstretched hand
and bless my lips
with soft-beaked kiss

New Tribes

Audio Recordings, Personal Growth, Relationships / tagged Imago, Peace, Travel / October 18, 2018 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com

From the old tribe of Isaac
and the old tribe of Ishmael

Israeli and Palestinian
couples and their children
come together by the sea and share

We are teaching the skills of listening
the skills of sharing and skills of learning

The rules are simple
tell your truth as your truth only

Assume as you listen
that the person makes sense
if they do not seem to make sense
assume you need more information

By the end of the weekend
the eight year olds are sleeping over
teenages walk on the beach till dawn

A new tribe being formed

WAR POEMS

WAR POEMS

Every poem
is an anti war poem

Although
people of prose
have often bent the light
to lead the young to their deaths
