Painting haikus

free Paul Watson

one song their whole life
otherworldly majesty
each with a message

those who care rise up
with courage as your weapon
no more status-quo

release Paul Watson
the world is watching Denmark
shame on you Japan

these times are a call
to every human being
you, yes you, choose love

ocean orchestras
wait for mankind’s free will to
sink patriarchy

sanctuary

interconnection
adorns this sacred refuge
basking in true heart

an invisible
protective golden circle
caim* of anima*

cows are grass puppies
their cognition equals dogs
watch Dominion

opt for peaceful plates
vegan means non-violence
digest compassion

to all who rescue
defend speak boycott or stand
for discarded ones

you are hope seedlings
sown for kinder future lands
thank you for each bloom

to the animals
oh dearest anam caras*
my time is for you


caim · gaelic for ‘sanctuary’, derived from ‘circle’
anima · latin for ‘inner self of an individual’
anam caras · gaelic for ‘soul friends’

not another freya

humans of Svalbard 
encroaching on her homeland 
means duty of care

observe set beliefs 
through a kaleidoscope lens 
until standpoints shift 

Frost needs defenders
rise above speciesism 
learn from Freya please

adopt don’t shop

animals saved me
with laughter joy presence hope
wise teachers best friends

caw caw

carrion owned rocks
amethyst mussel platters
whirling from above

chats on pine top seats
ancient languages well-kept
words of other worlds

golden pause

while there is still time
stand for the kingdom of life 
it needs protectors
