Changing of the Guard

changing of the guard
may the harmful rhetoric
now be reversed-
& swallow all those divisive words.
conversation begins anew
dream commonly
freely
openly


pendulum swung
joyful impulses take wing &
soar globally/historically
a push and shove into this new dawn.
rhetoric reversed-
conversation begins anew

across aisles, alleys and
oceans…..preference suggest
unity and alliance
not divisive, fearful plots
rhetoric reversed-
conversation begins anew

tears fell like rain
joy flowed like rivers
'to much received, much expected'
subterranean shifts in this vast terrain
enter left, exit right

somewhere in-the-middle and in-between
a sweet melody
reminds us that
We are all together
on this stage…….
at the very beginning of
this new act.

rhetoric reversed-
conversation beings anew
