Wolves in sheeps’ clothing,
invading pastures to snatch-
where are the shepherds?

Wolves in sheeps’ clothing,
invading pastures to snatch-
where are the shepherds?
Steve D
A soft white gleaming
among leafy forest floor,
gentle reclaiming.

Persistent drizzle
tests a headstrong audience.
Autumn mountain day.
Steve D
To see another,
understand their suffering,
recognize their truth.
Steve D
Immersion of self,
to feel another’s sorrow-
not just “thoughts and prayers”.
Steve D
Spare parts and extras,
scattered from a dozen kits.
Useful potential.
Steve D
Bus stops and backyards,
to swap neighborly stories,
build community.
Steve D
Black gold barons fly,
like moths to an orange flame,
to kiss the gold ring.
Steve D
Where are the wise ones?
Communal guidance trampled,
by privatized towns.
Steve D
Resistance alights,
from the first thought, a candle,
to brighten the dark.
