ConversationWithGod

Back to my knees

Lord where art thou

Here in my darkness

I implored the Heavens

To relieve me from

Despair have my sins

Prompted such turmoil have

I not been noticed

For my kindness nor

My love for others

Where are You

And then God said

I am the bottom

Upon which you have

Fallen which you kneel

Consider this do not

Sprouts spring from below

Do not trees rise

From the forest floor

Do not clouds gather

Rain from the oceans

Does not absolutely everything

Begin from where you

Find yourself to be

Now my dear boy

Start from here and

Be on your way

Just like everything else

HappyPride 🏳️‍🌈

I’ve always been different

It runs through my

Veins like water through

A gorge I’ve always

Known that ever since

I was a child

So being gay seemed

Normal part and parcel

But to so many

Others being gay was

So unusual that they

Hid their uniqueness shied

Away from the others

Until June Pride Month

When the rainbow colors

Fly far and wide

For all the world

To see celebrating not

Just being LGBTQ+ but

Also everyone’s vibrant uniqueness

MyMorning

The morning sun slips

Through my blinds like

Slivered almonds landing on

My chin and chest

As my coffee cools

Beside me like a

Patient dog seeking affection

Bed linens tossed aside

Like an after thought

Like wrapping paper destruction

On late Christmas mornings

And sitting here alone

With these three things

I am at peace

Before the wars begin

LikeThat

Now I finally understand

Why everyone today is

Screaming for their identity

Besides the fact that

Everyone else is they’re

Simply afraid to admit

That beneath the selfish

March forward towards Meism

Beneath it all they’re

Just like everyone else

And who wants that

But just what if

It was like that

TinyTreasures

You said that you

Want me but in

A newer shiny model

What you don’t understand

Is that my heart

And my soul are

The way that they

Are from rumbling around

Inside of my body

For all these years

Like a stone polisher

That after time turns

Rocks into tiny treasures
