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

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
