SOBER by Kristi Kirby

Scared of my emotions Impair Time out To count My breaths Releasing fear and tears With help Allowed deep breaths While sets of hands Pressed into my shoulders And heavens Wings lifted me into Peace River of tears Shedded Tension abandoned Flows of goodness Returning My favorite words Joy Harmony Peace Singing their music Inside…

HER MUSIC by Beth Haist

HER MUSIC Is Slowly letting me IN over & over– She lets me in. Gentle Simple Alignment Fluttering Within. Her clavicle becomes my Sacred geometry. Now only, An enticement Not a grasp, or a handshake– Just a whisper Of Chimes in the wind. Slowly, slowly Letting Me IN.

OUR TIME HAS ENDED by Rhonda Ceccato

And so now our time has ended, our season passed. I will never know, in this life, why we dropped into each other’s world but I know that I felt you never invited me in. Standing always at the door, not uninvited but never invited in. Yet, you gave me the greatest gift of knowing…
