- Latest Review: From Drift to SHIFT by Jody B. Miller
Having cried myself
To sleep
Last night,
I wake in the early morning
To hear
Raindrops
Tapping a telegraph
On the weathered trees.
Though muffled by
The glass of my window,
Their message cuts me
To the core—
They’re talking about
Things
I never knew I wanted,
And now that I know,
I can’t have them.
On a closer listen,
I hear a clearer message,
Striking like a rainbow
Through the gray of lament.
“Mourn if you must,”
It seems to say.
“Wet your pillow with
Tears of your loss.
They will water the seeds
Of what might still be gained.
“Though your heart sobs for roses,
Don’t take daisies
And sunflowers
For granted.
Surely,
The flowers you plant
In your misery
Will be still
More beautiful.
Even crocuses
Must force their way
Through snow,
To announce the
Coming of spring—
New beginnings.”
As the awakening sun
Melts the rain away,
I rise,
Take up my trowel and spade,
Turning up
The earth of sorrow
For new green
Possibilities.
I shower my tears
Over the new seeds
Before leaving
The sun of transformation
To do its work.
Yes, I will
Still mourn.
Yes, I will
Still plant my seeds.
I will
Remind myself
That after a long,
Cold, costly winter,
Spring is here.

My internal and external tone about the true nature of man and animals triggers my poetic attention, in this way, I'm inspired to depict my emotions whether good or bad through either in spoken or written words.
