Beautiful, Phyllis.

Amen to this: “I say Light is here because it has carried me more than once dead out of wreckage so like a mountain it could not be moved”

We donated to Drs. Without Borders & hold all impacted by this disaster in daily light meditation .

Thank you for this grace filled creation! Deep healing. Important to dive into these words.

As I do more of my own writing, I look more closely at the form of other poems. Curious about how you decide on line brakes, stanzas, and the overall structure of the poem.
