Giving Me Back (+1)

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)
