Nature’s Incubator
Spring makes my soul alive.
The world is awake,
with time Revived.
Everything in bloom and warmer
days that were shorter now are longer.
Newness of life.
A season of wonder.
Renewal
Rebirth
Rejuvenation
Resurrection
an equinox within the whole earth.
Springtime ultimately issues in summer.
Spring is an incubator and tide in
the earth where everything in nature is born anew.
Limitless Devotion
Yours was the reciprocating
heart.
Receiving and giving limitless
devotion.
Without fear we hold on to
Love.
Freeing ourselves from past
Heartache.
We build our fairytale
ever after.
You were the one to open
my heart.
You chose to stay
I believe love is possible,
with you, now forever, and
always.
You are my heart's greatest
Love.
Rushing
Everything’s a rush.
Rushing to catch fast
moving planes.
Rushing to put out
life altering cataclysmic
fires.
Rushing to tame unyielding
fleshly desires.
Rushing to wait on slow
moving trains.
Rushing to powerwalk through
a mundane and ordinary, routine
life.
Rushing to remember important
and unimportant names.
Perhaps, one day I’ll slow down
long enough to enjoy the aroma of
natures extraordinary, fragrant,
roses.
Broken
Shattered dreams of
unfulfilled hope,
grabbing desperately at
anything, something.
Spiraling down the
unassailable mountain
of defeat,
collecting fragments of
deferred dreams.
Beaten, bruised,
down on my knees.
Picking up the pieces
of a fragile, broken, life.

My Heart is Happiest Watching Ezra Dance
A carefree, teenaged Black boy
dances the night away
in his mother’s love-filled kitchen.
Happy hands and feet
wave and glide soulfully across
the checkered tiled floor.
How monumental this moment.
Watching a Black boy safe
at home tonight, from the
rage-filled world outside,
that won’t allow teenaged Black
boys to blissfully dance.
