Embracing Poems

In the Arms of Darkness

Night wraps me softly in her arms,
Whispering secrets, weaving charms.
She cradles echoes in my chest,
A quiet breath, a gentle rest.

Her cloak conceals my hidden scars,
Each one a story traced by stars.
She treads with footsteps calm and slow,
Through empty halls where shadows grow.

By day, she hides behind the sun,
But when the world is overrun,
She dons my

embracing the swamp

chilly winter morn
fog is embracing the swamp
drake calls for a mate

The night lays down like a black silk mantle, embracing the sleeping city

The night lays down like a black silk mantle, embracing the sleeping city,
I search in its deep silence for your warmth, a living flame lost in the cold wind,
In these long winter nights when my thoughts are stray birds,
Only you can catch and chase them away with your gentleness, a warm spring breeze.
You are far

Implosion

To be immune from aspersions mean and vile
May assuage our hurt feelings for awhile
But to really uphold the Golden Rule
We must also withhold words harsh and cruel—by poet

In an upside-down world
Where self-victimization
is a realization and hatred lingers, it goes nowhere
May not yet get it, and still not self-aware
Now some may think that healing is
Ignoring what

Embracing exploration

Sturdy within myself like I haven’t been before. From the penthouse of my mind to the dirt in my basement floor. 

Wasn’t focused on the destination as that would have been a chore. So I climbed the stairs one step at a time without pushing for more. Leaning into discovery along the route to guide

A mother's light in the arms of love

Being a mom is a journey filled with both incredible joys and daunting challenges. Each day presents its own set of trials and tribulations, often leaving us questioning our abilities and choices. There are hard days when you look in the mirror and wonder, "How am I going to do this?" Yet, somehow, amidst the

Embracing the Unknown

I notice the single placemat within the circle of noise,
Placing my phone on the cluttered side plate,
I can feel the Christmas spirit resonating through,
The crowd of extended families unwrapping each other’s joy,
A tear drops onto my unused napkin,
My mind races with memories of family togetherness,
The phone reminds me of the unsent WhatsApp messages,
I spot the

This Christmas

There's no one cause I'm done,
With the sore and the pain.

But there's awe with my faith,
That is growing again.

The peace I'm embracing,
It has filled my whole heart.

And my soul sings the rhythms,
Of a day with no start.

This Christmas I'm healing,
And I'm new like a moon.

I'm lighted, revealing,
Full of glow in a room.

Free Fliers

I don’t know what you’re saying
And I don’t really care
Let’s take off all our clothes
And cut off all our hair

We’ll swim inside our blood
While drinking in our skin
We’ll look inside our ears
And pull out every pin

We’ll give until we can’t
We’ll take until we’re full
We’ll idolize ourselves
And dive into the pool

We’ll leave behind the land
‘Cause we’re

Embracing heartache

Saying goodbye ripping through my core, stirring up sadness that is too hard to ignore
Sorrow seeping into the dirt of my soul while questioning if I will remain whole

Not pushing around the feelings coming my way
Instead leaning in to see what they have to say
Realizing the heartache is telling me how hard it is to

Embracing the Storm

I am the storm that lost its own rhythm,
laughter flaring, then burning to silence.
Your imperfections swagger,
and scars that tell unerasable stories.

Some days I am a solid stream, unbendable,
other days, a forest fire — wild, unrelenting.
I falter, I burn too bright,
but each autumn leaves a truth inside me.

If you read me in bits and pieces, raw

Embracing who I am

I am growing older
I passed the threshold of 55
And I am not reluctant at all
As I run with enthusiasm
Into old age

Not everyone gets the privilege
Of growing old

I have discovered my gifts
Of music and poetry
And I regularly engage in them
I am growing old with my soul mate
Who I have been married to for thirty years
I practice

Embracing Hope

In the heart's quiet glow, hope blooms, a vibrant hue, painting dreams anew, bright sunbeams aglow.

Thoughts soar, wings spread wide, kindness whispers near, lifting souls to steer toward joy's gentle tide.

In every dawn's call, promise softly sings, visions on hope's wings, embracing life's thrall.
