POETRY

Jennifer and Selah, thank you for the love you’ve shown me and the channel with your talent and beauty. These poems are tremendous. The talent is amazing. These two women, poets, have shared their poems with me and (with their permission) I am happy to share them with you. Enjoy and happy weekend.

 The quiet surrender

A morning crisp sky

freshly brewed coffee

Oh my, my mind

You drift, My gift

I’d want from you

A solid white rose

means nothing to lose

I carry away, the strength i pretend

Lean into me, Let go, I’ll mend

- Selah Terwilliger

 We were orphans who found refuge inside of your home

Your hospitality and pureness made us feel less alone

Your vision surpasses what most of us have the ability to see

Your wisdom and knowledge by far supersede ivy league

A ruby, your soul on fire, such a bright energy

Yet, you are water, you are balance, what a perfect synergy!

Unapologetic sense of self, it's brought you so far

That’s what I love your confidence, you know who you are

They say everything happens for a reason or rhyme

So grateful we crossed paths, it was fated in time

Much obliged to you Michelle, for your time and your grace

Hallelujah, I'm finally unbound found love in your safe space
 - Jennifer Simpson

A stoic place

All night you’ll wonder
 A chilling space
 To stop and ponder
 Your tired eyes
 Remains inside
 A tear drop cry
 You’d clarify
 
 The things they could do
 Yet they stand here with you
 You’ll find that they’d fight
 For the four millionth time
 A brave on the brink
 With each step on the fly
 The fits, the risks, Each chart that spills
 You’ll bare, you’ll hold, you are my pill
 - Selah Tellwilliger
