Pains of Release
Letting go is sometimes the hardest thing to do.
You brought with you a new and gentle light
Something happened to me that I never believed I would feel
Every minute a wild and unfathomable delight
Sometimes, you were the only thing that was real
-
Turn the hands of time forward and see the world today
Nothing stands the test
And for that, we all will have to pay
Because we were stupid like the rest
-
Such beauty and wonderment in the light as it begins
Why did we not know, or were we too blind to see
All the best things begin to end when we forget our sins
We were in a world of love and beauty, for which we were unworthy

We Don't Exist For You
A while ago I collaborated on a poem in support of Athika Ahmed and women's voices everywhere. There was a call for any kind of writing, poems and verses mainly, inspired by the terms "They call us" and "We are". I knew I had many poems along those lines. I took several lines from different poems of my own and made a new one. There were many participants and a verse was taken from each, including one of mine. So, I'm sharing the poem I made from my own poems. Maybe you can guess which line they took from it.

Nobody’s perfect, but we all deserve to be loved.
Is anyone worthy of love? And yet all deserve to be loved.
The description of the light and the sense of wonder is captivating. It makes me think about moments when beauty catches us by surprise.
