Inspired By The Message, John 1:1-2; Started in Poetry & Wellness workshop taught by Emily Spencer

I was with him, 

the helpmate he created with,

rejoicing before him 

each day all the time

Proverbs 8:30

In Readiness From Day One

Watching Mommy measure the dry

Slowly stirring in the wet

Making all things moist

Eager to take a turn of the spoon

Pouring the mix for heating

Puffing up with delight when she says

“My little helper, 

Taste what we made

Together.”

After Yesterday's Storm

Forsook

Emerging from shelters

Dazed by sun following storm

Finding messages beaded

In every North-facing window screen

Around town

Braille-shaped rain droplets reading

“Condolences on your loss”
