Currently residing in: Temperance, MI
Age: 30
Education: A.S. in biology, B.S. in sociology When I started writing poetry: Although I have one poem dating back to 1997, I consider three poems I wrote in 2000 to be the real beginning.
Note: This is the first in a three-part series.
Nowhere, I'm going nowhere
Surely all these rules are to blame
...
This cannot continue, I must be free
But how can I kill this monstrosity?
It feeds off of depression, apathy, and anxiety
While murdering every thing good in me
...
I walk the dry land once more, but in a new way
Steps made with confidence, I know where I go, I do not hesitate
The surging, turbulent sea nearly drowned me
But a Savior came and held me above the waters
...
The sky above is pallid shades of gray
Just like it has been for days and days
When will this break, when will the light return?
...
I feel the cold of the north wind comin' down
Swirling leaves, once an array of fall colors, now fully dead and brown
It gets dark too early, sunlight leaves, wish it would stick around
Despite the cold and death and dark I sense You and I know Your grace abounds
