Sisterhood of the World Bloggers: Award

As I come back, after taking a few weeks off from blogging, I must be honest with myself I didn’t want to accept this award. I felt like I was not worth it. I felt buried under all the stuff that made life painful. I know now, I’m growing from a dark past, growing from my present circumstances and like new moons when it peeks through I am brighter and stronger.

So it is with great humility, I awake to see, I’m surrounded  by sisters and brothers who encourage, inspire me, and say hey take your time. Have a little fun ,why don’t- cha. I am reminded to focus on the light, that is everything I am becoming.

I accept this award without further delay.

From the depth of my heart ,I say thank you: Stormie Steele -she is a sister ,friend, a light, a drum that strengthens me and so many others -please stop over on her blog and breathe a light of fresh air for stormiesteele

The Race:

Just try a little fluttering

putter

with the wings growing out back

in the falling swing

resilience grows

the writer’s art in sowing

nine stitches rebelliously knowing

it’s not over

it’s not over…

Lost:

bird in the sand

Upon grainy sands

she numbered them

Not alone

Thousand waves of heat

Not alone

though dark days come

Not alone

Wet and in despair

Lonely but not alone

A simple comfort

in distant friends

not alone

there is a path

carved out just for me

My soul

emerged – east of the Nile river

deeper – in the Red sea

Nesting in the wilderness

Hatching in milk and honey

I fastened my shoes in Passover

Borrowed gold, exchanged my foreign speech,

not bruised, marked or curse

Yet-upright my soul stood proudly

My soul has a name in Canaan- that’s mighty sweet.

 

Traveling Skyward:

pink sky

She has flown beyond the cusp of the sun

her wings,her tears,her call,her eyes

navigate between the sky and I

miraculous splendor to share in microspec

earthly bread – reach heaven’s gate

and return

with

ease…
