Small Stone, January 1, 2012

I glanced at my reflection in the morning mirror…

Black pearl pendant rests
Above the heart
It gently nests
‘Tween clavicles
And aging breasts
Representing family, love

 

How is it that I thought I could

Outdo God, the creator?

Who fathered Jesus, yes, it’s true

But Satan, too, the traitor

 

What gave me the idea

I could raise a family

Foster pure perfection

Overcome man’s destiny?

 

I AM but a child of God

Divine-in-Training, really

To think I could avoid the pain

The failure, loss, was silly

 

Keep it in perspective

Realize the goal

Each of us returns to God

Each a valued soul

 

Despite it all…

 

 

 

I AM letting go

The time has come

 

Morning realization

This is done

 

I AM moving on

Though filled with love

 

Dawning here and now

Clear, from above

 

I AM placing faith

In you and yours

 

Capable of choice,

Successes, more

 

I AM opening fists

And opening heart

 

Letting what comes next

Lessons impart

 

I AM freeing you

And freeing me

 

To live and learn and love, now

Judgment free

 

I AM shunning fear

To let love bind

 

Illuminate my soul

Heart, psyche, mind

 

 

 

And now

I stand my ground

I’ll not be abused

Refuse to be used

When cheated, short-fused

Way past the blues

Thus I implore you … Do not be confused

This line

In this sand

This time

~ Is final ~

     ~:~

 

Eternal embodiment of wonder and lust
hips, thighs, torso
breasts
forward thrust
every color
every hue
every woman
Me
Her
You
Wondrous
