Oh
The tears I’ve cried
for you-
In the middle of
the night
Untrue—I
lost count of
Little black sheep
Playfully nudging
My hand.
“C’mon lady! Let’s go play!”
And I can still hear her singing…
“Look what’s comin’ up over the hill.
Look what’s shinin’ on my window sill;
With the blue bells ringin’
And the blue birds singin’
It’s Sabbath! Again!” –An Elegant Lady Rochelle
Taught me this song long ago so I would remember.
I remember you.
With love and gratitude,
NZain 🙂

A single tear in my teacup
Joy in my eyes—
Since you left
And I realized
The pain you inflicted
Contradicted
Every word you said.
So
Now
I’ve proven you wrong.
All along–there was nothing
To fear; a single tear in my teacup
Joy in my heart—
A brand new start.
With love and gratitude,
NZain 🙂

Such is life.

What do you see when you close your eyes?
I asked the Shaman, “show me Hell.”
I was taken to a room the color of mold…
No windows.
A steady-drip-drip
Of water fell from a hole; I couldn’t see
Any way out.
I asked the Shaman, “now please show me Heaven.”
And–in an instant–I was in my own backyard.

Thank you, Sir for encouraging me to think.
