Judith Angell Meyer Poet Free verse

My Resolution

Is to descend the stair
looking for where my soul
hides those bits I hate in myself;
The darkness of control, selfishness,
procrastination, laziness --

Put back in their place,
I ascend again to expand
my heart songs;
generosity, creative vision,
able to move freely among
my thoughts letting the beauty
around me tease my soul into a smile.

Carolyn Devonshire February 19, 2009 at 1:56 PM Judith, your "stairs" truly reflect the ups and downs of life. I'm glad you're in a good place again; we all struggle sometimes. Very nice! And thanks for your comments on "Feline Survivor." I only wish those students would learn to accept some responsibility so tragedies such as these do not repeat themselves. Love, Carolyn
