Is it a conspiracy?
They seeded the clouds
with love.
Love has been raining
since dawn quenching
scorched earth cleansing
poisoned minds trickling
hate down sewers
washing away fear
swelling hearts with
courage to join in
generous community,
knowing we only have
each other.

My mind and heart battered from contemplating recent actions by the United States government, I avoided a sinkhole and flew to the clouds. Now as I post this poem, I am weighed down with rage and sadness from knowing that worshipers were gunned down at a Quebec City Mosque on Sunday night. I am not sure where my opening line came from…but I have decided to leave it…a conspiracy to relieve human distress, hatred, and destruction could be a good thing.
‘Dawn’ is the word for this week’s Quadrille challenge hosted by Björn Rudberg over at dVerse Poets Pub.
