Soul Elements

A Haiku Poem — When soft breath whispers or forceful gale blows, I brace strengthening my roots With time I evolve, lush lithe soul to firm bedrock, I stand grounded, sage Soothing tender kiss to monstrous wave, I ripple Underrate me not I, cogent, rise up Soul ignited, blazing bright I incinerate

A Poem for Amy — You wear your scars like tiger stripes, thin to thick, thick to thin grooved, bold and painted dark, woven together into a pattern depicting strength; a beauty others envy and delight in Your tears fall hard and leave stains upon your skin uneven, mis-shapen, inking stops and destinations distinctive even if you were born…
