Not Yet.
For women sent home carrying only love in their hands.
You carried a soul beneath your heart,
A little life too soon to start.
-
Though earth could not become their home,
Their spirit never drifts alone.
-
They’re in your smile, they’re in your eyes,
In rainbows born from soft goodbyes.
-
They’ll find their way, when you are ready.
Your body, healed and warm and steady.
-
Between this time the world will show,
Some quiet signs to let you know.
-
You’ll feel them in the evening air,
The gentle breeze that lifts your hair.
-
In sunsets painted pink and gold,
By tiny hands not yet to hold.
-
In every night, keep holding true,
The bright stars shine from them to you.
-
Until then, their path is set.
Their path home to you,
Just not quite yet.

Writing a record for my inner child and the woman I am still learning to stand beside.
Not poetry for answers,
But poetry for breath,
For noticing,
And choosing to live from the inside out.

Where's the Glory?
In breaking news, rehabilitated Republican Senator Johnnie Johnson (Pronouns: HE, HIM, HIS) called a press conference from the Men’s room of the New Orleans Louis Armstrong International Airport, Concourse B, across from the Ignatius Reilly’s Lucky Dog stand. The Senator had just returned from a sexual reorientation rehabilitation program in Memphis, TN after being publically disgraced at a Buckee’s Truckstop restroom soliciting sex from an undercover cop three months ago. He is a founding member of the Reformed Christians for Christ, a conservative, pro-family and ex-gay advocacy group. In the spirit of being reborn, Senator Johnson invited reporters to marvel at his plans for a major remodeling of airport bathrooms.
