Praxis

 

Something good happens

Something bad,

Something horrible

We move on

 

In our lives, good news

Or bad, sometimes horrible

We move on

 

Where are we going

That requires constant

Moving minds,

Restless spirits always

Leaving, never resting

 

In places of crisis?

 

No time taken to repair

To sit still and know

That we have talents

To make better

So many we encounter

 

Training missed in

Intuition, empathy

Things that rarely pay

 

Victories without profit

Save soothing, maybe saving

Souls

 

Next time, we might say,

As we meet

Then walk around

Needs on the street

Or next door

Or so much closer

Truly
