I Sit Alone, Listening

I sit alone after dawn and hear the bursting surrounding me. My eyes are closed, my soul has no barrier. There, a dove, cooing for her partnered one, Nearer, the wasp rasps and tests for the new home, Farther, ole sol, forcing renewed life on earth to grow, first green then in colors, Tulips, pears, … Continue reading I Sit Alone, Listening →

Believe in You

I do hope someone believed in you in your past. It might have been your mother, a friend, or the dog, but someone to validate your life meant something and to propel you to stretch higher for that brass ring. Women that think their lives mean nothing, yet have birthed multiple babies capable of changing … Continue reading Believe in You →

A Shorter Road

Waiting for Better A better life, a better life Yet, this is what I have All that I am and all that I know I cannot wait for things to improve As the road is getting shorter, the end nearer. Let me sup on the things I have been given Instead of the hunger for … Continue reading A Shorter Road →

Rising To Be

And, the stillness of the night, gives way slyly to the red hues of the birthing sun. Silence is pregnant and full now, goosebumps flow on my arms and engorge me during this change. I wonder if the soul is not like a bubble lying deep in the ocean. Rising maddeningly, striving for freedom, to … Continue reading Rising To Be →

Wraps of Slumber

Within my wraps of slumber, as the northern cold robs warmth from the air, I almost remember my mother, as if she lay next to me there, I want to reach out to her but with limbs just like lead, she turns away from me slowly, just a tiny reach from there. I want to … Continue reading Wraps of Slumber →

Silence Between the Raindrops

Listen, to the silence between the raindrops, The gentle sound of water hitting that old tin roof, But still, in between lies my feeling of solace and peace and wanting, These old eyes look up into the darkness, remembering the youth long gone, the loves I had trashed, and the energy wasted, yet, I … Continue reading Silence Between the Raindrops →

Coo

I see, I hear, I breathe, music is my lover, my partner, while the birds and bees fill me and make me wonder, my aaaaah is life. A baby cooing, dribbling, legs and arms pumping without a plan. Did you smile? I bet you did. Enjoy, live, hug, sing. Simple. Follow nature, Not the selfish … Continue reading Coo →

Accepting

While I live, I am not always loved. While someone hears me, they do not always understand me. While I feel, Others will not accept my emotions. Still, I breathe and hope for love, understanding, and clarity. As a human, I reserve the right to be wrong from time to time. Yet, still, I hope … Continue reading Accepting →

Left of Venus

Just a touch left of Venus, whilst my fingers trace the moon, and my breath shows as vapor, while I sits all alone, I remember your smile that wrapped me, in a warmth all its own, but now I look left of Venus, while I sits all alone.

Just 30 seconds God

I hope God gives me 30 seconds before my last breath to remember.I want to taste again that first chocolate Sunday with dribbles on my chin, my taste buds blowing bubbles at me.I want to hear anew that first AM radio blues tune with Ray Charles dragging on one note, forever, "I want to know".I … Continue reading Just 30 seconds God →
