after listening to Lizz Wright & reading Georgia Douglas Johnson (draft 1)

the unsolved riddle of myself

keeps me up quite late

who I am? I don’t quite know

alas! a troubling state

 

to have degrees & feel so far

from knowing much at all

tends to bruise my ego some

& I don’t stand so tall

 

but once as I lay musing

the koan of myself

my spirit talked w/ego

& said, “I am your wealth.”

 

“fall into me, & trust your heart

& you will surely see:

you are love, & that’s all there is

to solving your mystery.”

  1. Absolutely amazing.. So honest, heart felt, and just real. Honestly, I don’t believe you can write any other way! I would say it is not a draft but is done. Well done!

    P.S.
    I really miss your energy and wisdom on campus! You still shine like a diamond regardless!

    All hearts and minds clear?

    Peace,

    Danielle
