Love That is of the Soul
Love that Can Last
Love that is of the soul
Is love that goes on.
It does not fade
When one is gone,
But does join two
To be one.
It can last all that is evil,
All that is dead.
It is for life, for limb.
It can lead and be led.
It is calm, it is rage.
The pain of the mind
Is writ on its page.
It is wait, it is go.
It is rise, it is fall,
It is to push back the flow.
It is wide; it is deep,
For one’s life it can keep.
One’s life, one’s soul -
The bind when two do meet.

Red Dawns the Day
I often dream representations of my own life, but often it is personified. I believe this dream was a representation of my time working with youth during the height of what be reflected in the #ChurchToo movement. At the time, I was not aware of the silent evils the kids in my charge were facing. As a female in a field dominated by males, I often was expected to be quiet because I was not as gifted as they were. This has haunted me for years, and this dream/poem is a result of that haunting.
