Way Way Way Out of My Comfy Zone!

Last night I went way out of my comfort zone. I was up past my bedtime, hung with the youth and listened to the "F" bomb get thrown around like a ball! I stood up in front of this amazing crowd of poets and artists to read a poem that I had written.  My heart pounded in my frame as I stood alone. I felt eyes piercing through my flesh. Silence. I felt a sense of power and strength I did not know was in me. I was inspired and encouraged by everyone I met. I enjoyed all of the creative souls and their words so deep. After everyone read their poetry Aaron Samuels spoke and read some of his poetry. So deep. So moving. His passion spilled over the room like a gush of warm water. I bought his book.
YARMULKES & FITTED CAPS. 
  
I am not the same person who pulled up to that curb. I left her far far behind!

Spirit Train

Towering timbers. Rails on high.

You thunder. By and by.

Standing here. Waiting here.

I hear you coming. Down the tracks.

You thunder. By and by.

I want to hear you pass over me.

I hear you coming. Down the tracks.

Closed eyes. Standing here.

I want to feel you pass over me.

Quivering. Pounding. Shaking.

Closed eyes. Standing here.

Pounding echos deep within.

Quivering. Pounding. Shaking.

I feel Your POWER. I feel Your STRENGTH.

Pounding echos deep within.

Spirit train passing through my soul.

I feel Your POWER. I feel Your STRENGTH.

Standing here. Waiting here.

Spirit train passing through my soul.

Towering timbers. Rails on high.
