like a startled fairy
up and blinking at
sudden appearance of light
in the shade
one of those Sundays
seems though the silence
still of the air hovering
like clouds
I await the storm
It’s been a good year for me. Welcome to my early to mid 50s. Seems like I need to consider expanding my creative voice a bit more and truly publish it much more, as well as complete what I need to send out into the academic ocean of voices. Love woke me from the slumber of despair, and it fuels my drive to continue my work. “Love is the law, love under will.”
With Respect and Acknowledgement to Elegua,
Thank You, Yemaya.
Trust and belief
realness and joy
a very rare thing to see
a genuine passion for humanity
caring enough to give to all
imaginative
enough to at least try
enough to empathize
sharing that same joy
a grace-filled soul who smiles.

Learn what I mean by “quantum flow” in the poet’s voice–this episode will have you thinking about the power of language. Ronald Mason the spoken word artist who came to Washington DC as an educator from New Orleans returns for part three to talk about poetry, spoken word, and making culture.
