Standing Stone

Standing stone

I am a rock

Born early

born small

A month with no love at all.

Mothers love

bright and strong

Father

Gone

Abandoned

pain

bright and strong

A wounded child

bright and strong

grows and serves

bright and strong

First love

bright and strong

hard choices

Gramps and Grandma

bright and strong

salt of the earth

Rock Strong

Gramps-my Father

Proud and loud

Grandma-Grams

Smoke and silence

We loved well…

Mother-

Friends come and friends go

Lovers come and lovers go

heart beats

heart breaks

life goes on…

Broken body

broken dreams

Strong as a rock

on a winters eve.

Marry, Mate

Love and Create

two Daughters

Bright and Strong

cruel games of mind

biding time

Escaped

Broken Heart

Broken Bonds

Rise above

the rising tides.

Moving on

like a rock

I stand the tides

We abide.

My greatest strength

is my strength.

Like a rock

Ma, I miss you

bright and strong

my memories live on

the people

the places

the faces

Painful, it has been

but,

love always begins again.

I rise

I endure

I compromise

I adapt

I laugh

I cry

I teach

I reach?

I write

I fight

I strive

sometimes

I wither on the vine

sometimes

I die

but,

if I rise

in my broken pieces

I walk

I breathe

I think

I feel

I rise

and try again

bright and strong

like a rock.

Standing stone.
