Admonish

The moment it came
I wished it away
Closed my eyes 
Admonished my spine
For daring to want more than a lazy ceiling fan from above
Giving rise 
To the chills on my skin here below

Pace

All this breathless talk
Should end soon
So there
Nearing the end
I’ve planned as an afterthought 
To kick out your feet from ‘neath you
May only the prairie grass catch us

We warn our feet

Qualify our wishes with caution

Prove it up

Before the soul be set free to live

When none comes

When all the alarms go unheeded, convictions disregarded and we rule on the side of hope-drenched faith

Because what are we if we refuse to have faith! 

We wonder back

At the how of it all

Through the bars of imprisonment that corral our wild hearts

While our fears run free

Stroke After Stroke

Sometime just sit and brush your hair

And stare

Off at nowhere

From the cool shadows or brightest sunlight 

Stroke after slow stroke, comb through the thoughts

Causing wonder or stress or no care at all

There. Calm yourself 

Heal yourself

Lay your soul bare

My prayer, my sisters 

Protection regardless of our own plans
Our story’s not finished yet

May eyes filled with light
Hook and tether our hearts 
And we will see who we are
