I am born,
Borne unto death.

Spewed forth on a wave, 
Webbed feet touch a holy hand.

A postulant …

I think that all our life we are all postulants Julie, seeking the meaning of life. One day we will know. God Bless D.

I kept my attempts as a 20 something student ... all three of them. Not exactly prolific ... but then I had barely anything to write about, having not 'lived' yet. I submit them here for your perusal and hope you will comment.

Everything starts at 1, 1st breath, 1st step, 1st love, 1st poem. The trick is to learn from each 1st. God Bless. D.
