Laura returned in a dream tonight
to remind me of who I was
Leading me toward a waxing moon
she sang of hope and love
Pulling me close she kissed my lips
as her breath refilled my soul
Giving me back unto myself
—with a joy that time had stole
( To My Muse — Laura Nyro: September, 2023)
Like A Child
I think like a buddhist
but pray like a nun
I see like the mountain
but reach like the sun
I stand like Gibraltar
but rage like the sea
And love like a child
—reborn unto Thee
(First Book Of Prayers: May, 2017)
