Check out my newest song Sarita, Sarita :D …………………………………………………………………... Like a Poet Why am I surprised that I’m swept up by life — like a poet mulling over headlines — like a poet carrying my child — like a poet Grief and Beauty Embrace and Refusal My life is only tensions But of course my heart breaks as it heals Of course I receive love with an eye on its pain on its way to me This way has its hold on me All grasps at relief to clothe me: costumes They itch and wrap tight ‘round my neck squeezing me out of them I tried to stay— but acceptance wouldn’t have me I’m the unmovable always moving I am the kiss on the cheek and the sting of its received slap I am the un-mender of weapons I am words that cut. Surgically. I am shaky hands trembling at your touch trembling in anger trembling in wonder It’s no wonder I’m a ball of angst and hunger staring at the heart plundered Furious with a love that refuses anything less than love …………………………………………………………………... Extras: We Are Humans playlist : Some fun for your ears— and maybe even your feet if you feel like dancing. Remembering- A Mixed Media Animation Exploring Grief: (1 minute video) a beautiful take on home videos, family, and a moment with Maya Angelou’s wisdom.
