Soft - Theme Thursday

Time ebbs and flows
soft,relative
to perception, physics.

Disintegrating in proportion
to speed.
Linear, circular, biological
pliable, transient.

Impression of fading memory
once lived
Now lost in the mists of.....
everything, nothing.

Brick - Theme Thursday

Each of us significant
playing our part in forming
the evolving wall of humanity.

Shared experience cements us
in love, fear, joy, pain.
Individuals strive incessantly
Courageous souls setting their course
for unity, betterment, evolution.

Undermined by apathy, hostility, neglect
creeping in and sapping strength.
Hindered, never acquiescent.
Ever mindful of the promise
Of universal oneness.
