let our fears be
as rain upon our
shoulders strong
enough to bear
the onslaught
ready to step
forward in hope
the world is
just a world
we make the
world just

now and again
the age of innocence
is not dead despite
what we are now led
to believe we can no
longer do or think
truth is not what we
are told but what we
are bold enough to
know with our hearts
no matter how many
lies they weave to hold
us in an unholy embrace

Loss
When my son was a toddler, I began to prepare myself for losing him.

the wait is over
my mother’s ashes
arrived today I did
not see her body
I felt her passing
in my own way I
knew not to wait
for her to love me
without her fears
choking her but
her time riddled
mind surprisingly
was courageous
now it is my turn

a backward glance
do you remember
twirling and twirling
when you were young
glorying in the feeling
of being in this world
we don’t have to outgrow
that dance that feeling
that freedom that chance

dust to dust
I am a titan of tenderness
not of tidiness though I
sometimes tornado neaten
everything in my world I
prefer to ride the wind and
the whims of my heart do
judge me if you need to
but I’m good with myself

A balance of sights seen today -
Someone idling their out-of-state car in the striped access space next to an occupied handicapped parking spot 😡
An extremely large bag of dog food someone put in the food shelf donation box at the co-op 🥰

I woke this morning from a dream…
A baby disappeared as I was minding it in my childhood home.

joy to our world
as a child I felt safe
sometimes loved
often unheard or
disbelieved but I
always felt joy was
my invisible security
blanket it still works
