a month of filling the well of learning who I am a month of filling the well of learning who I am without a title next to my name I’m starting over giving grace for others and myself I want to be new I must let them be also sunrise over Wisconsin sunset on South Dakota where heart beats I made grow strong moonshine like a promise rainbow over Wall “I brought you here and I’ll take you there” Buffalo run and I run with them the glory of God alive in us both my heart is the same but next year I’ll be different is it my butterfly season? Maybe, maybe not for now I feel the pain of death and rebirth goodbyes before new beginnings liminal like radio static but I hear the music building and this time when it plays I’ll be ready to sing #emthewordenthusiast #yellowstonenationalpark #startingover #newbeginning #travelusa

for someone planning on staying there, I don’t dre for someone planning on staying there, I don’t dream of heaven as much as I’d like this present world and all its troubles like to plague my mind. but heaven is a quiet place, and when I close my eyes more than see it streets of gold, I feel it’s peace inside. not flashy or loud demanding or pressing buzzing, bustling, shrill, but like the long, slow, release of exhalation- I think it’s calm and still. and maybe in this world of haste I can be a haven too a place where weary souls can rest until we’re all made new. I don’t dream of heaven as much as I’d like since I’m planning on staying there, but I know I’ve got time to unburden my soul once I’m free from this world and it’s cares. #emthewordenthusiast #heaven #writersnetwork #poetry #creativewriter
