I have loved this poem for about a decade now, and in every stage of my life so far I have found it to be relevant and inspirational. Today it speaks to me about the daily struggle for a good attitude and perseverance in marriage, motherhood, and friendships. I hope you love it, too!
Breathless Tales
I would rather
clutch my invitation
and wait my turn
in party clothes
prim, proper
safe and clean
But a pulsing hand
keeps driving me
over peaks
ravines
and spidered brambles
So I'll pant
up to the pearled knocker
tattered
breathless
and full of tales.
