Resilient Soul
The past is haunting:
heartbreaking memories,
unbearable loss,
scars, seeping wounds.
The present is daunting:
deadly viruses, illness, disease,
affecting everything - livelihood,
relationships, life.
The future is uncertain:
climate change,
conspiracy theories,
political upheaval,

Not-So-Happy Father’s Day
Jealousy pokes at me
like a schoolyard bully,
as I scroll social media greetings

I cringe at the dissonance
between my children
and their father.
How can fate be so cruel,
to curse multiple generations
with dysfunctional fathers.

Savaged Soul
If I knew your poetry would suddenly
disappear,

every poem,
to comfort me
when I feel alone.
Your words help heal
my savaged soul.

Soul Flames & Star Dust
I am sorry
to see you go,
but know you
will fare well.
You survived hell

as a big loss.
Even though you may
drift far away,
your essence remains.
Our lives are
forever changed
from your soul flames
and star dust.
