I will return hatred
with love
When I ask myself
am I a spark or an ash
I will turn away
from the ocean of self-doubt
to belief
I will write my birth poems
and sing my praise songs
I will kiss my life
before I sleep this night
I only desire to be known

Oh Diane, this is beautiful. I am thinking of the note that you sent me. I send prayers, love and light.
"Am I a spark or an ash" I love that! I wonder that myself....
Ahh. So often I too have to turn away from the ocean of self-doubt to belief.
Lovely poem.
I love this one....
Mantra to self
Thank you

I love the worldview reflected here. Spark or ash? Very thought-provoking poem -- I aspire to spark but have to fight against an ashen nature (which I think was nurture...)
