Alla Bozarth Poems

She enacts and teaches the truth —
embracing the blessing of limitation
she accepts Life’s new gift of freedom,
she discovers her power to choose,
...

Unbowed toward men
she bows only to Earth, our Mother.

She speaks truth to men with brutality in their brains
...

Save the Infinite Yes for God alone.
All others require a Positive No
from time to time, and often yes, also—
But learn your limits and avoid the naive yes,
...

Before Jesus
was his mother.

Before supper
...

There is a new sound
of roaring voices
in the deep
and light-shattered
...

Strawberry Moon
Wild Rose Moon
to begin and end
this month.
...

No matter your circumstance,
Be in harmony with your essential miraculous life
And live from the core of your being that is
Older and younger than anger and grief and all loss—
...

She had no name in Scripture,
but history remembered her tragedy —
that of being trapped in an unhealed past.
...

When we pray
for one another,
we are leaning
over the cusp
...

Light casts diamond
flash on fishes’ backs,
seagulls fly below me.
Spindrift, silverwhite, foaming
...
