Sorrowful grace today was hopeful
Visiting my kids for Easter
a road trip out of town
would brighten my mood
Back to my hometown
Good memories of my childhood
playing all summer and climbing trees
riding bikes and hanging out with friends
My hometown was much safer then
It's becoming a bigger city now
and rife with danger
There are still pockets of good neighborhoods
My mom lives in one of these
The houses literally look like the Brady Bunch house
The block seems stuck in the sixties ...

POWER OF UNITY
For sure we all can remember a time in each of our lives 🥰 when we use to connect on so many ways of subconscious, thoughts on the things that truly matter to us as family and friends. But yet it's changed from the deepness into negativity, of what was created by those before us, when we weren't even born into the world 🌍 For sure as I keep those thoughts as motions, pictures of images of good times with the elders, of the truth seekers of our family roots. I remember so many stories about the deepness of the truth, there was a time when we had laugh together and moments when...

New Year Baby
Life can bring you so much joy…
At unexpected times
In unexpected places
It can certainly turn your life around
And bring happiness with tiny little faces
It was five minutes into the New Year
When my granddaughter came into the world
It was so quick, so sudden
What a way to start 2024
And when I held her in my arms
I stared at her angelic face
Little Luna, we’re over moon
Our little star is filled with grace
Today for the first time
I called my daughter momma

mama dilemma
9 of 30
I still hear laughter through the floorboards
& smile to myself
even as my heart constricts
...for a long painful moment
the sound doesn't ring quite as true
...slightly fractured...
it's the thing that makes a mother flinch...
she was in love...giddy with it
sighing over her coffee
smiling secretly as she washed dishes
it's been a rough few years
filled with isolation...medications...changes
retreating from a world no longer welcoming
I wanted more than anything for this to be her bliss ...

I lay here, content
there’s a ginger cat purring on my lap
my daughter snuggles in
paw patrol flashes in the back ground
her hand strokes my face
her head lying gently on my chest
such fragility in the arms of a bear
she smiles
kisses my cheek
her little fingers tear out my heart
rebuild
what was once an empty husk

4 My Daughter
She thinks whispering,
Will keep the government from hearing.
She thinks her daddy,
Is just mad at me.
She thinks spying,
Is wrong and not complying,
With her future.
Knowing what the government will do to her.
I know she hears me.
I know she learns.
I get the feel of things.
It's a game that we take turns.
I know her daddy can't see,
The creeps that follow her.
I don't even think he cares,
If they take advantage of her.
I open my thighs,
To protect her. ...

Plans
Write about making plans,” she said,
and I laughed –
“oh honey, you know I suck at that!”
and she smiles, “exactly…”
This girl understands my poetry.
How it’s always all about the anguish
of making elaborate plans
that I’m not equipped to execute
and perceiving beauty
that I’ll never be able to hold.
How I can languish in the heartache
of imagined futures and friendships and feats
that I am powerless to actualize
and how,
despite the apparent misery,
I still choose this stubborn...

Hopscotch Lines
A long haired girl
with a light blue dress
jumps across hopscotch'd lines.
Every bound blinds me
as I lose her, in the sky
Then, clouds ground her
Grey turns the day
As upon the tin roof
begin the taps
of the drumming rain
With that steady beat
we dance upon the concrete porch
With seven colors of chalk
strewn across its slate.
I marvel, at how
little girls build their worlds
in primarily bright shades
Seven sides then, to this day
Born into a rainy life
As...

I taught you to be strong
Would you have stayed
If I asked you to?
You left me standing
And broke my heart
You have betrayed
The trust you knew
Whom you were dating
Will tear us apart
Life had played
It’s tricks on you
But you’ll be landing
To start anew
========
I taught you to be strong…
To live your life
to find your home
I know you’re not wrong…
Still my veins are cut
Still in my gut it...

the storm I created
she broke into this world
a storm wrapped in pink blankets
the daughter that borrowed my eyes
my temper
my frown
my tendency to stand
at the edge of shadows
what else could we do but spark?
squarin up over nothin and everythin
we catch fire the same way
quiet and hot
both refusin to bend or break
same flush in our cheeks
I still see her as four
hands on her hips
determination set
in the corners of her mouth
small voice deliverin judgement
speakin fluently in...
