Bind my wandering heart to Thee

Our father in heaven
hallowed be thy name
thy kingdom come
thy will be done
on earth_beautiful broken habitat
as it is in heaven_the place you are beckoning humanity
give us this day_inhale, exhale
our daily bread
and forgive us our trespasses_innumerable they may be
as we forgive those who trespass against us
lead us not into temptation_yet so easily I wander...

Sisterhood Mantra

                                                    Sisters -
a deeply
sacred word
for within those
seven letters lie all
secrets  
dreams 
stories 
and fears. 

Friendship may be a tree, 

but sisterhood is all roots. 

We are planted so deeply
into one another, 

intertwining vines and roots

A myriad of splinters
forming parts of who I am.

With a friendship that the
heavens had to guarantee,

we sit at our distant dining room table

waiting for the others to come and see.
