Poetry starts as an idea or phrase which expands into a message to be brought through from somewhere. Where it comes from is a more magical place than here, or maybe it offers a more magical perception of here. It comes by virtue of intellect, wonder, and the Spirit of Contemplation. -Kelly Voelker kellywriteaway@gmail.com

The Sun and Moon of Spirit
When my spirit faces the sun
I string optimism 'round
Problems and neglect.
I see promise in the condemned
Misused and historic relics.
When my spirit faces the moon
I realize I was seeing the world
Through a lens of the future
Not seeing right what is important
In this particular reality.
Not in this town
Not at this time
Only in this world
At magical moments
Appearing just often enough
To keep my spirit facing the sun
As an example or moment
To outlast who won
And during the moon
I'm still here but not seen
Waiting for a better day
To improve what I see.
