Mother Earth
Sometimes I miss the voicesBecause they made me feel not aloneWhen the reality of people Was too much to take on. I will lie here in the dirtAnd feel Mother Earth’s embraceI will one day standFor now though I will lay. ____________________________ Going through all of my journals for my memoir I’ve been stumbling on […]
