Jumping in
I shut both eyes
my heart lay open wide
A first hello
my last goodbye
to logic ill applied
Choosing an entry
frees all to move
the first breath to a song
Getting out
my mind rejects…
forever pushing on
The ending shatters
once breaking through
as time cuts loose its grasp
That first step forward
past my fear
—a die forever cast

The Crown
Poetry…
the most regal of all gifted language
Prose sitting as handmaiden
—to each verse sublime
