Washing away
The dirt and decay,
to replenish,
After all that has accumulated
Of stresses, of strife,
Of blood and tears
Wash, clean the soul,
To see better,
feel it anew
To find beneath
The real you

Bouquet
July 11, 2017
Starting over,
Picking pieces
To put together
A bouquet
Of my own
Independence is fragrant
With excitement
and trepidation
But this is my own
And I will own
this arrangement
As one picked
by and for
All that is essential
to me
