OCEAN

 

Part one from the Water series. We come from the ocean—our water mother. The more we feel her, the more whole we become and the more we support life on our planet.

 
 

OCEANS is from my book, EVERDAY MERMAID. A collaborative art poetry book with artist Deidre Scherer.

CRY JOY

 

This poem is the second in a two-part series on water.  It actually started out as one and after continuous rewrites, it kept ending up as gobbledygook. I stopped. Realized they complemented each other, but could not be united. Happy now they are on a full spread talking to each other. OCEANS, the first poem in the water series to follow.

The Meaning of Tears

 

This poem helped me go into my heart and feel the pain. This heartbreak we are experiencing now is part of being humans connected to nature.

GRIEF

 

My mother-in-law(ex) died last week.  We knew each other for 48 years. It was a tricky relationship ending in great love. I miss her. One of her daughters wrote me and said a younger woman shared her discovery about grief:  “Under tremendous grief is tremendous love.”  

I dedicate this poem to Mammy/Anne in hopes it can provide some comfort and windows for your grief.

OCEANS

 

We come from the ocean—our water mother. The more we feel her, protect her both outside us and inside us, the more whole we become and the more we support life on our planet.

Happy Mother's Day

 

Happy Mother’s Day to all of you who have mothered in any way. My wish is that in the burgeoning #MeToo Movement that “mothering” gets as much respect as all the other issues we are fighting for.
