Poems:

Morning

Red sun rises high
Above, behind barren trees
Which stand undaunted.

Inside of Me

My mind is
Pregnant with ideas
Nine more months
To go.

What forms will my
Children take once they have
Been given full life?

Peace.
Love.
Expression.
Growth.
Artistic.
Experience.
Goddess.

It will be
A long and tedious labour
I must push and push
For release.

I will cramp and writhe
Praying for the end ? a
Fruitful finality.

Tradition.
Truth.
Expectation.
Discovery.
Passion.
Life.
Love.

Random Musings

I wish I knew all the answers
It would make all our lives a hell of a lot easier
But it ain't about easy, is it?
We are here to work
To learn.
To grow.

We came in on our own
And we're going out the same way.
If that's not hard, what is?
I hope I find my calling
Why I am here?
Where will I go?
