Literary Roots
When Passion Reignites
Charcoal sky
tangled branches cry
like dangled danger statements
drip...dripping on pavement
as raindrops crackle in my ears
eyes heavy, yet I steer
steady, round the bordered bend
bringing me to a place I've been
when, just then, clouds bloomed
thus giving room
to brighten
this heightened & enlightened sight
meant to reignite this fight
so years leap like light
to the past
peeking at present me
comparatively a tree
tall and strong
on the route
leading back to thy literary roots

PS-This poem is basically about how I wrote poetry a lot as a kid but then stopped for a long time. Now, I feel like I am going "back to those literary roots." As I was driving in the rain one day, I started thinking about this and making a poem in my head about my surroundings. Then the sun and clouds came out.

The steps to losing a child
Step One: Lose a child. Not what anyone wants to happen and nothing you can do to change it, but you can go through steps to becoming happy again. You can go through steps to loving again. You can go through steps to become a new you because after losing a child you will never be the same person you once were.

Dear Lora - I'm so glad I've just discovered your fabulous writings. But, sorry you haven't been in the VillageBucket for months after writing so many at once. I'm just an old fashion story teller/cartoonist and post once a month, if that. I've subscribed with pleasure in hopes that you share more with us. Jay Kantor, Chatsworth, California Vocal Author
