If raindrops were wine
they could fill my cup and peace
would paint a sunset

Tera Johnson-Swartz Poem
You were there
when my world came crashing down
and life was but a series of
gasps and chokes
ugly tears and snot smeared faces
you gave reason to my whys
and when there was none
you gave rhyme
but where are you now?
how will I find you?
I cannot reach you
touch you
call out
the doves - they mock me
their cries, a reminder
of my love
hijacked
stolen
stabbed
and slaughtered
while I’m left
Alone
to build a world without you.

Tera Johnson-Swartz Poem

Amidst a sea of coward men
I wear my war paint bound to save
The underdog that might have been
Or sometimes quiet as the night
Entangled, buried, rooted deep
I wait unyielding for the light
Patient poised for peace to reap
But never waver, always be
Proud warrior, steadfast and true
I walk these steps on bended knee
This life, on loan, I will not reu
