Notes About The Poem

Pre valentine's gift from me to me

From Thee to me...

Endless gratitude.

Raw Energy

No more cigarettes
No  more rock white hemlock
No more sugar blues
No more bitter regret
No more lame excuses.

Fourteen years have passed
Fire was purifier
From smoke's trap I rise
First, soft rain fell with calm
Father, forgive! I prayed.

Water and fire-
With those came fresh clean air
Who heard and saved me?
Women and men agree
We're living energy.
