The Truth of the Crane

Crane’s truth stands firm

Grace and harmony lift her wings

Defying physics, she flies

Her tenuous legs fold up

Not caring what others tell her

She speaks not of other birds

She seeks to live in peace

Knowing her limits yet still

She rises above the darkness

Conflict, a threat to her balance

Harmonizing, beautifying, breathing

Her stance invites our stillness

Crane medicine sees beauty in all

Nothing whatever can, in this Day, inflict a greater harm upon this Cause than dissension and strife, contention, estrangement and apathy, among the loved ones of God. ~Baha’u’llah

I have been writing all my life but for the most part, it has been a secret. My parents did not believe writing was a good way to earn money so I hid my poems. Then one day, I wanted to comment on an essay that a friend had written and found myself with a blog. That quiet whisper inside said, "You can write your poetry and no one will ever know.". I knew nothing of followers and the like at that time. So, here I am trying to learn my craft and enjoying every moment of it. My personal details are, I'm 57, married for 39 years, have one grown son who is God's gift to us and last but not least at all, I'm a Baha'i which basically means that I love all humanity.
