The Letter T

bones affixed to sticks.
i form a capital t.
my truth will not die.

              Not sure whether to classify this as haiku or senryu but none the less I take it for Titu or Tristan or Truth. Maybe all the same. Nicely done my friend

              • Tristan Robert Lange

                Soren, this really struck me…that connection you made between Tittu, Tristan, and truth. That is certainly one of the threads..that merging of self and meaning. I truly appreciate you seeing and naming that, my friend. 🪶⚫⬛🙏

                • sorenbarrett

                  You are always welcome my friend it is a pleasure

                  'Powerful..........With just a few words, God created everything in Heaven and on Earth! What situation are you facing in your life right now that seems as hopeless as dry bones rotting in a field? Will you have the faith of Ezekiel and prophesy over the dry bones in your life? Will you command the dry bones to come back to life, and to hear the Word of the Lord! On this day, Good Friday, Jesus' sacrifice for humanity is commemorated. According to Mark 15:33, 'At noon, darkness fell over the entire land, lasting until three in the afternoon.' As stated in Luke 23:44-45, 'It was approximately noon when darkness enveloped the entire land, persisting until three in the afternoon due to the sun's cessation of light, and the temple's veil was torn in two.'

                    Friendship, I really appreciate this…you brought Ezekiel, the dry bones, and Good Friday into it in a way that deepens definitely deepens the read. That space between death and something spoken back to life…yeah, that’s right where this poems sits. Grateful for you stepping into it like this. May your Good Friday be holy and meaningful, my friend. 🪶⚫⬛🙏

                          ..."we all live in a capital i, in the middle of the desert, underneath that great big sky!..." In the shadow of the T we find our spirit wings 🕊️🤩🙏🌷

                            My friend, I love how you leaned into this…there’s a lightness to it, but it still connects to something deeper. That sense of lift you brought in really works alongside it. Glad you shared this. 🪶⚫⬛🙏
