SIBLINGS

SIBLINGS

One Earth, One Human Family, One Denominator:
born - life seasons: spring/summer/fall/winter, death.
Diversity is our divine challenge of growth together:
instruments playing conducted by marvelous orchestrator.

Our holy/holiday celebrations stimulate our best:
peace, love, gaiety beckon with communal festivities.
Spirit of peace on earth, good will aurora to all:
Desire to give, care, share is what makes us blessed.

Gender, Age, Religion, Culture, Race unite in love:
highest of emotions that transcend all others.
Spiritual Leaders/Philosophers exclaim its wonder:
It is kith & kin elixir of peace that transcends from above.

Pain and Suffering

Pain & Suffering

Yesterday was celebration: renascent birthday:
twelve years ago survived 42 stab wound attack.
Kimo Sabe saved life and insisted that surgeons continue:
on surface, all hope gone, yet divine mystery on display.

This was the 7th time my life was facing death:
have experienced multi woes of devastating loss.
Loved dying, economic catastrophes, life winters:
become secluded when close to last breath.

Septuagenarian life has witnessed seasons of strife:
tragedies, wars, despair, pain and suffering.
Transcending spiritual gives testimony to mystery:
humans love each other with renaissance new life.

It is through sorrow of experiential grieving:
that reinforces our kith & kinship sibling ties.
Our comforting empathy reaches out to bless:
uniting us in faith that honors our believing.###
