FULFILL AND CONQUER GRADUATION SONGThrough the academic years
The feeling of uncertain and fear
Here I am on graduation day being my personal preserver
The studies were hard and long
I wondered is higher learning where I belong
There were numerous exams
Research papers imaginable
I got through it all
The lectures were focused on concise being pure concepts
It was “MIND OVER MATTER” that become concrete
I...

The Fall BelowThe edge is close, my steps are slow,
I shouldn’t look, but still, I know.
I told myself I’d just come see
But now the fear is holding me.
The ground’s too far, my hands feel weak,
My chest is tight, I barely speak.
The railing’s there, but what if not?
What if it slips? What if I drop?
I take one step,...

I know my PurposeI know my Purpose
By Michelle Morris

I am Brave
Despite the Fear
I remain Brave
Through Hopes and Tears
It's taken Courage
To walk my Path
It's taken Strength
To trust my Heart
Despite the moments
When I feel lost
I focus on believing
In what God wants
I know my Purpose
I know my Soul
I know...

Don't Know Why I Couldn't FlyDon't know why I couldn't fly
When I had the wings and all,
Don't know why I didn't try
Was I much too afraid to fall
Teetering on the bridge that day
Arms outstretched, toes to the edge,
Then again, who would jump anyway
From such a treacherous ledge
Looking down from an incredible height
My last breath caught in...

Close Enough for a ThursdayIt’s been a long time since
I’ve ventured into
this new studio of mine—
dust has settled like ashes
on the unshelved books
and the jars of brushes
still packed away in boxes
that intimidate me.
Since I’m already here
I might as well unpack
one carton of my past.
I slit the tape on a box
labeled Miscellaneous,
not knowing what I’ll find.
Inside, a parrot, a toucan,
some...

Where to find oneself one love inside oneself to one.
one flesh to speak the whispered voice of Godly Love.
My soul and what would...

Cluck turns a cryNear the yard, I heard the mother bird's loud cluck,
A signal to pull a sly trick on the hick.
Yuck! Her chicks all ran wild and scampered amok,
Scattered by the bumpkin swinging a big stick.
The dispersed chicks drew a cast of circling hawks,
That were happy to see meals within their grasp....

I'm gonna do it like I've always done itWhen I walk through a blink of a garden
That hugs my legs
And calls my mother
To come collect these shard of broken glass
I felt it on the kick of my leg
With hours and more hours spent
Asking for a chance to restart
There wasn’t even a miracle
To call and ask for a redo
I felt the pain when...

Woman , YoursOh dear ! You are better off
I’m not a smiling doll
to play with you
Don’t stain me
with your fingers and words
I’m possessed by a holy evil
Don’t yell my dear !
Even as an embryo
the world knows -
I’m a witch
I didn’t bewitch you
Don’t think too highly of yourself
You were a nomad
who lost...

My ManThe fingers crawled over
my lips, each step a crunch
on my parched soul -
lullaby for my desires
But where’s the wind ?
Where was it, before the drizzle?
The crawl slithered into sleek
curling my lips into his mouth
like a prey, I panted in his loop
struck by the venom of his kiss
I strangled reaching for the antidote...

MomentsMoments drift by in fleeting streams,
Like bubbles dancing in our dreams.
Hold those moments gently in your hands,
Feel the magic where joy stands.
Moments of laughter, wild and free,
Moments of surprise, like waves at sea.
Moments of celebration, purest light,
Moments of breakthroughs shining bright.
Wake to the simple moments, hear its call,
Embrace the whispers - great and small.
Life is...

In Duty's Name - A Linking Pin Sonnet for Memorial DayDuty calls from valleys deep and wide,
Wide like hearts where brave resolve does bide.
Bide the storms, through fire and endless rain,
Rain of trials met with a calm refrain.
Refrain from fear when darkness clouds the sky,
Sky holds hope where eagles dare to fly.
Fly with honor carved in steel and soul,
Soul forged firm in sacrifice and role.
Role...

The Edge of GoodbyeI saw him in the corridor —
my mind stopped for a moment,
all my emotions rushing back,
stunned, yet I kept walking.
Once I was away,
I crossed a wall —
and broke down,
tears flowing down my cheeks,
words unsaid I couldn’t hold.
I wanted to stay,
to hold on to him,
but I needed to go —
to let go for my peace.
I saw...

The Turtle and the HareDid you know that Turtle soup,
Is a favorite of the group?
What a shame to taste so good,
When you do as turtles should.
Rabbits run a faster race,
Turtles try to keep the pace,
But they cannot match the speed,
When a rabbit takes the lead.
Rabbits too are tasty treats,
When they pay for their defeats,
But the turtles always face,
Someone faster...
