Erika Wingo Poems

You dance throughout the galaxies
Trailing stardust behind
Twirling in abandonment
Within non-linear time
...

The broken ones cut their feet
As they walk upon the pieces
Of their broken dreams
Ghostly figures in the shadows
...

In someone's shadow
I can speak real loud
While standing behind
I can still stand out
...

When we are face to face,
And I look directly at you,
It's almost like looking at my own
reflection in the mirror
...

In the moments after you had gone
It seemed as though time had
Gathered together
To stand beside me,
...

The lure of our becoming
Pulses through the universe
Our heart is the dwelling place
Of Him,
...

Why do I allow myself
To think back to those times
Of warmer, brighter days
While I'm stuck here
...

Whenever you look at me
Somehow its me you never see
You're glance glazes then grazes over me
Although I've always seen all of you
...

He is a whisper away
In a breath of fresh air
He is wherever you are
And everywhere
...

As minutes turn into hours
As days turn into years
My children grow taller
I start to feel smaller
...
