“In certain ways writing is a form of prayer.” — Denise Levertov

frequent looks backward,
are killing me. a betrayal of today.
i want to know why
but yesterday hurts.
aches like a cold, itches
like a wound healing.
i can’t help but think
get over yourself.
and pray, the whispered mantra
i warble at first, hushed
to myself
someday pain won’t rule over me.
Ya'll, thanks for sharing.

I’m an over thinker and incessant seeker. I’m grateful for God’s grace. This is a quiet, contemplative blog. I write my poetry, essays and offer my photographs.
I hope you will stay and read a while.
All photography and words are mine, unless noted. Find me on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram.
