Came In Like A Lamb

Came In Like A Lamb



o'come Emmanuel, we sing, praise and celebrate
what's in a name...

2019 year of  shackles broken,
mud dried and cracked, 
like Banner becoming the Hulk,
fuck your psychological prison cells
plain as day, transparency 

turned 46
in remission of symptoms
all year

functioning optimally
logic has re-entered the building
starting college again,
I'm going to be a chef!

God is with us;
up on my own two
again--
came in like a lamb, 
going out like the "Tiger" I am 

Taking my power back, 2020
ring up the curtain
it feels good to be back 

My name is:  Michelle




over and over again
the mind gets tripped and triggered
wrapped all up in illness
gaslight and walk away
like it ain't nothin'
I ain't mad
every time
I come out new and improved
like a vintage stingray split window coupe
pulled from the scrap yard
and restored

smoking tires to easy Sunday drives
ya know it's gonna be alright"


Here's to a fresh 2020
so long 2019, you've been good to me!

Peace is~

Peace is~
The tingling, warm feelings in my chest
like at any given moment my heart will burst out from within.


Peace is~
Fighting to keep my eyes open, when I am not even tired
with every eyelid flutter more soothing than the other.

Peace is~
No matter time or place, the you-ness of you existing comfortably, almost weightlessly
aware, yet, without a worry or care.


Unexpectedly Extinguished

The 1st Advent candle was lit, we sang
and then, it went out.



The 1st candle was re-lit and the second candle was then lit, we sang
and then, they went out.


As if from lit to spent, my mind wound down
unexpectedly extinguished, with those candle flames.

 Without a word, familiar presence
rest well, here with me.



Softly whispered, within my chest
pen to paper;



Life in a candle
to hope is but a dance with a peaceful flame,
rekindling moments
in every wick
joyfully burning my smoldering soul
lovingly flickering
Advent fantasies...

 ^-The process -^
