1998
Born last of winter
Spring skimming my toes
        
           First
                  Slow
                         Steps-
Wary.

Learning to read
Salvation in words

Poetry discovered
A love of rhyme

Pain in strength
Hates first ink
Heartache

Two in deliverance
Beautiful Minds
Doubled hearts

Lips touch
Timeless
Pieces clicking

Hearts grow
Entwined
Love
Is
Here.

Here
Is
Love.
Entwining
Hearts grow,

Clicking pieces
Timeless
Touching lips

A heart doubled
Minds beautiful
Deliverance in two

Heartache
Inks first hate
Strength in pain

A rhyme of love
Discovered poetry

Words in salvation
Reading to learn

Wary-
        Step
              Slow
                    ­ First

Toes skimming spring
Winters last born
