Photo by David Bares on Pexels.com I knew I still had some come back left in me,
I wanna be off the radar doing good
so good for the first time in a long time my socks match
with the those pink and green toes in the morning
doing so good, I’d wake up satisfied in
my own black coffee- they’d be singing folktales to me
hold my smile in the middle of adversity
braid my hair in milk and honey
with a splash of turmeric and cardamom
because there’s nothing better than that
golden life flowing, down on the inside
being the best of me
reaching for the rest of me

(digging through my family photos- my son at One years’ old, he’s 9 now)
deeply grieving, over the way it was,
church on a Sunday,
pub’s in the afternoon,
baptizing Jesus, and the things we lost
temporary-people, cut down in fields of green
temporary-socials, satisfied the touch of needs
I hate to say this..
nothing remains, nothing is promised
save the pain for a little heartache
save the tears in old used coffee cans
save the joy but let spill
over worries, even kill
over problems, gone down hill
over certain unmarked graves
waiting for the day
waiting for the new normal
if it ain’t coming,
I’m running to Jesus
finding that empty grave
lay down upon it,
be the stone that rolled away
be the cloth where is his head lay
be the dove that Christ had come
be the one that spreads good news
be the spirit after flesh
be a witness, be the hope of a small child
be the one who thrives in uncertain times
be the one who’s light still shines
there is, unconquerable hope
and it lives in you & me ~kindness sister Krissy

Poetry has become my home and my owning the darkness has shown me the light. ~kindness sister Krissy

Standing over walls of defeat
strengthening limb to limb
intricate spaces folding
undisciplined minds
trying to find reason
to let light in
to let fire spread
we hurt ourselves
lest we grow ourselves
in every direction
seeking progress…

“Breathing in, I see myself as still water.
Breathing out, I reflect things as they are.”~ Thích Nhất Hạnh

She winked and I winked back.
Right in the sol of my lungs
we shattered our rest
to breathe
in a new wide sun
She’s a cooling-fire.
