a hockey rink
the day after
my dad’s funeral
~
an on-ice incident
explodes
in a dressing room
~
I was jesus
in the temple
casting out sinners
~
self-righteous
impulsive choices
~
protecting my religion
~
dishonouring
my father
my son
my holy spirit
~
I’ll carry this cross
my shame
forever

it’s human
You know I’ve been around here for awhile… and, I find your work to be so amazing … and, I know you’ve been looking at this as a sort of therapy, and healing ….
You’ve shared a lot … your poems are more revealing, your writing is better each day …
I’m wondering … are you beginning to find some peace through this process?

each moment before

That all sounds very poetic …but, I’m not sure it answers my question. :-)

Maybe is a good answer… I can accept that. :-)
I admire what you’re doing … and, I’m truly in awe of your poems …
Maybe I should start a fan club? :-)
If He can forgive me for all my hot temper tantrums, then I’m sure He’s got you covered! Beautiful writing and fantastic painting…. I love how you subtly share through your writing! :D
