"When I write a poem, I go into a state of self forgetfulness, and something higher takes over; I like to call it my best self."
WHO I FIND INSIDE
In grasping for words for my painting in poetry
Looking for grand imagery to color my page
I found someone lurking deep down inside of me
Capable of love, some hate, even rage
She looks like me but so much more inquisitive
She is more sensitive and even quite odd
She feels stronger than I thought I could be
This self I met feels closer to God
I think I can see God right before my eyes
And He is always surrounded by beauty and awe
Can it be that where my mind puts Him
Helps me make some sense of it all?
