Of them
Didn’t I wish
Didn’t I know
Oceans away
None stars to petition
None shores to defend
Ancient ancestors
Why did you leave
Why am I abandoned
Great Grandmothers
I will remember
I will resolve
Remade, I
A Galloglass now
A Hoplite hero
What strategies do you use to increase comfort in your daily life?
There is much pain in These Days, and Prayer to comfort it is all I know to devise.
Where are my words
All of the aches, and achings
Brought to my body to bear
Vanquish them
Except to say, Amen.
What is your favorite genre of music?
My favorite music genre is sometimes opera — but, sometimes, not.
When one is born with a heightened sensory awareness, daily living feels like moving through the days and nights while smack dab in an opera that surprised you with its beginning and that also never ends. Everything is a drama king singing its story…asking for your attention and refusing to let you go. It’s serious and humorous, beautiful and exhausting.
We long for daylight
Did it revolt, walk away
And leave us, alone?
Darkness, and then — dawn!
We need not dread the minutes
‘fore our finest hour
What’s the one luxury you can’t live without?
One luxury that I’ve been forced to live without, but still can’t seem to live without, is love.
Grey-green
Brazen
Giant of the decades
Liberated
My heart!
My heart, again
Now, broken
And the decades
The decades, green
Now, grey
What’s one small improvement you can make in your life?
Adding a fuchsia flower, tucked behind my ear — symbolizing I’m at peace — would be more than a small improvement in my life.
If I be sixty
‘Twas the Flower in my hair
The Peace in my path
What is your career plan?
While I do not pretend to know the plan, I know the organizational structure…#Partnership, or bust.
I and Atlas
Recreate
Play away livelong day
Summon life to midnight
Atlas and I
Conqueror and Consecrated
And I
And Atlas
Plymouth, our rock
Shoulder together
A boundless road
What are your favorite emojis?
My favorite emojis symbolize grit✅, light⚡️, commitment💞, and care👏🏻👏🏻.
Here
And, how the day demands
Me
Steadies my feet and hands
Light
It will not leave me sleep
Walk
Prove what night cannot keep
Hold
All that God’s plan entails
Life!
Complex and happy trails
Describe a random encounter with a stranger that stuck out positively to you.
…that time Saint Logic showed up and I didn’t keep walking, tho’….
Hear, hurricane,
Once perfect calm
Find once again
The Summer balm
Such stormy sea
‘Tis all a lie
Follow the grace
Of the mind’s eye
Logic, the friend
Protectorate
Whose docent-light
Truth, bezel-set
Aegean green
Ambient air
And stalwart scent
Will find you there
What book could you read over and over again?
Less of a mere book, and more of a sacred text, I do read The Bible over and over again — sherlock that I am.
It will be by fire
Becoming by burning, lo!
Refined…so, ready
When you were five, what did you want to be when you grew up?
When I was five years old, I wanted to be protected — both then, as well as when I grew up. God has seen to it. And, He’s provided poetry, too. ✅
