*"Such A Time...."*
This is a poem from my recently published book,
“God Loves A Riddle: A Small Collection of Poems.”
All confusing and affirming.
These poems were written during the most base need survival years in
Boulder, Colorado; while facing 20 year old PTSD flashbacks of the murder of my infant son never before surfaced.
It seems I was piecing my fragmented life together almost as quickly as the puzzle pieces were being thrown at me! Frightenly abstract.
I was born
for such a time as this.
With all its risks, challenges, disappointments, and passages.
I take one step closer.
I was born
for such a time as this.
With all its puzzles, questions, mathematics, and loneliness.
I take one step closer.
I was born
for such a time as this.
With all its freedom, ideals, progress, and tools.
I take one step closer.
I was born
for such a time as this.
With all its catastrophe, creativity, loyalty, and love.
I have lept a great distance in a short time.
