Seriously Silly

Maery Rose
(My beautiful sister and I)

I Gotta Be Me


I put one foot out 
As if to step forward
Holding out 
One treasured 
Piece of self
In cupped hands

I pray for
Sweet welcome
Another feather
In my boa

The other foot
Lifts
Stands in transition
One more
Gift pulled
From my basket

Another day 
Oh yes
A good one

I am the sum 
Of many moons and stars
With my own light to shine
Let it be a rainbow

April is just about over. Only one more poem to go after this one. Although it’s been quite the challenge, I’ve had fun so I think I’ll still throw poems into my posts, maybe once a week. The month of May I’m declaring as Focus on Healthy Habits month. Yee Haw! Doesn’t that sound fun!…
