When earthly bodies are finished,
may we all find mercy.
Forgiveness for ourselves.
Compassion for others.
Beautiful expressions of love
For moments that transcended.

Right on my shoulder blades
Where my wings were ripped off
On the fall to earth.
My heart yearns,
To be reunited with kin
Angelic essence of rainbow wings
To fly to new heights.
Still,
I magnify the importance of Love,
The need for connection
A higher power unknown yet to me.

A new day had come.
Overshadowed by someone else’s need.
Stealing my sunshine.

“Don’t color outside the lines.”
So I named myself rainbow.
Flamboyant, not austere.
I wear all black
To let my insides shine.

The hands that look like my father’s
The ones that practiced Vivaldi & Bach
Hands that dug in the dirt to plant
Seeds that might grow the next season
My little hands
The hands that taught me to crochet
Making doll rugs by the treelight
The joy of velvet on my cheek
