Reconciliation with 2025 #DecPodPoMo Episode 30/31

2025A year of fire and brimstone, a reckoning with massacres, starvations, vindictive assaults on hopes and dreams.It’s been “disappointing ” to see infants lose their parents – and grandparents crippled with the pain of griefin ruins, rubble, and relics of the quiet life they wanted more than anything. Blue skies & clean waterblooming flowers and fruiting trees fresh streams and songbirds’ liltthe melody of playgroundssymphony of toddlersclimbing and seesawing as the prayers for peace went on and on.No resurrection nothing rising from the deadbut carrion over Gazaand wolves in the Donbas,wildfires breathe, droughts parch, as glaciers meltand natural disasters are too many to remember.  – The outside world a cesspool.The inside world of dampened fire,of dribbling lines,a thirsty year of tablets for teeth, for a dug out cysta year for seventeen syllablesa year for wordsa year for causes.Is there any way back?Any way out?Any way beyond?Is there nothing but now?A year of finding a second homeamong smiles & bowing necks the quiet glances– the way a swallow flies or a heron glides. Goodbye to all those wet days,all those days of cloud,all the days of weather,Not knowing is the lane to wisdom, not knowing’s the adventure, not knowing’s the way. 2025 Year of Knowing too well– and Not Knowing.
