Tess Rockenstire Poems

There’s moment of sorrow
Clouding the day ahead,
Turning upside down –
The ecstasy behind –
...

Like a “glass menagerie, ”
True self reveals when open and broken.
Two hearts inlove unmasked
bound to be discovered,
...

Once on a wintry day,
Down in yonder land.
In snow boots, winter coats and mitten
As everyone walked robotic.
...

Father let me hear your

Voice when doubts overshadow me.
...

Mother Teresa I heard all your stories
I can only remember your veil and fragile skin.
Pulled and mired by this insecure world
As I watched you on my TV’s screen.
...

No pain nor sorrow is the place will I be.
Far in the galaxy, pure beauty surrounds me
Angelic face of peace here I beheld
Voiceless voice in me hears thunder
...

Adult in a sandwich generation.
Relentless responsibility,
Child growing,
Parents aging.
...

This is a day to remember,
A joyful day in winter,
As I walked in the fallen snow,
Upon the hills I go.
...

Sweetheart how I long to hold you tight,
In this magnificent night.
I think of us, and our playful pillow fight.
Let’s send our sweet kisses tonight
...

Rising sun in the east,
Warming my silken face,
As I let the sunrays in to my morning quest.
This cathedral of hope churning my inner self.
...
