today's Poetry

Today we welcomed Freya Manfred to our church. We are blessed to have her mother, Maryanna, as an active part of our fellowship and I'm coming to love her offspring and their talents as well. (Marya is an amazing pianist and artist) As she inspired us with her own writings, she challenged us to come up with a poem of our own today. Here's mine:

Sadness
like the soft tickle of my cat's fur,
compelling,
comfortable,
imagine infinity...
Until real life,
a spark of static electricity,
like joy,
crackles into sadness' reverie and
changes life's focus again.


Today's headline was Lakes, Love, Life and Death with Freya Manfred... such important visuals for my life and my healing right now. I spent my morning (as I do each morning...) Exactly where I need to be.
