I am solace in a barren land I am water in a field of fire I am the cave under the snow I am. I have martyred love for the sake of my children I am the penitent of hell. I am the story of the hidden child come home again. I am the end and the beginning the nimbus-- the diamond on a plane of snow-- I am the one who rocked my mother as she lay dying in an empty room. I am her come again.
Reason for writing:
I have written poetry since I learned my alphabet... it is unconscious. I have been known to do it in my sleep. this is a poem of hope and pathos, the two most important elements of my life. It was very hard for me to put this here; my poetry is intensely private. But it needed to be done. I hope you enjoy it.
