I held your hands for the first time today
And I loved them
Your palms stretch out
So wide!
So strong!
Wide enough to wrap around mine with an inch to spare
Strong enough to hold them and calm my fears
Like those of a great bear
they complete you

The Misconstrued
I cannot seem to evade this sense of doom,
From the feeling of constantly failing when I was meant to bloom.

I miss Vicki
Poetess sublime
Nature is her nurse
She wrote her essence every time

I don’t know why she left
Like Aretha, made me cry
Whatever drove her off
I just want to say good-bye

Her comments-wise, encouraging
With love she shared her best
You’re sorely missed, Dear Vicki
Farewell Dear Poetess
Vicki was so welcoming when I came to HP, and her gift as a poet unsurpassed.  Perhaps she'll get her fine work published.  Namaste, Terry

I’m standing on the foothills already
Before me great peaks stretch far, far up and out
I never imagined I’d become a mountain climber
But you’re here
And I hear a voice behind me saying
Walk forward without fear
I will build you a bridge to cross each river
I will guide you across each chasm and crack
It is my joy to teach you the truths you lack
In the most unlikely places you are tempted to quiver
But I am your light and I know that you won’t turn your back

I hope I am grace to you
I hope I am the most powerful inspiration for good from a woman ever given to you
I hope I am a stonewall to you
A picture of the surest **** that ever kept Holland dry to you
I hope I am a warcry to you, what caused Braveheart to go and fight to you
I hope I am rest to you
I hope I am joy to you
I hope that I am hope to you
And I hope I am these things forever to you

If you’re only here to unwind the anxious chains around my heart
If you’re only here to teach me that God is kind
If you’re only here to grace me in self-appreciation
even if that’s all you do
then come
I need you at my side

I have destroyed whole worlds today
the stench of burning cities fills my nostrils
Quiet agony fills my throat
Endless wreckage is my vision
What horrors my hands have wrought
I step upon the ruined ramparts
I weep upon the ashes

I do not have the power to do such things
so few ripples have I truly brought
And yet my anxious heart feels like its caught
caught and shackled in the dry dust of emotional failure
