Believe that you are enough - v5



Drink in God's light, the one hope/prayer within you,
cast out your doubts, your demons, the fears in your way;

Believe that you are enough, that God is enough,
to get you through this time, this struggle;

Know that God will be with you every step of the way.

Trust enough, that you are worthy,
that you are called for a purpose, believe,
in God’s plan, in God’s calling to you;

God will be with you, on the road, this path,
with you every step of the way.

In the ground, growing, hidden – v3

High up in the trees for a moment
an ancient creature takes its first breath,
falling to the earth, quickly;
Alive in the ground, growing, hidden,
many years, blind, invisible,
far from the light, the heights…
 
At a precise moment rising, climbing,
on the tree trunk pausing, waiting,
bursting open, emerging,
bat wings unfurling, growing;
Returning briefly to the canopy,
beginning again, again…

email May 115, 2008

“I am in eighth grade and I am doing a school

research project called a zine.  In this zine,

it is basically about describing your passion. 

One of the requirements for the zine is putting
a poem in, and explaining your reaction to the poem. 

My passion is Cape Cod, and I chose the poem you wrote, 

Beach Sand,  I love how you described sand in this poem. 

I just had a few questions like,

why did you choose to write this poem?

My response May 16, 2008::

“Funny you should ask. Someone from North Carolina

two days ago asked if they could put this same poem

on a new web site. As I told them, I had written in in 2006,

on the same day as quite a few other poems. I was writing

then specifically about treasured memories of my childhood

and more recent too. I wrote this poem about my joy at the beach.

I am from Westfield, MA growing up and my family would go to

the Cape or up the Maine coast to like Wells Beach or York

many summers when I was a kid. My grandparents on my dad's

side had gone to Old Orchard Beach for summers when my dad

was a kid and they were there on Cape Cod when I was a kid.

In 1988 I went to Hilton Head Island for a week. And in the

mid-1990's I went for like 3 or 4 summers in a row to

Martha's Vineyard. From 1978 to 2001, I lived near

the University of New Hampshire near the seacoast of

New Hampshire. I spent time at Rye Beach, Hampton,

and Great Island Common in New Castle. I just really like

walking the beach, more than just laying sunbathing.

I would walk along the shore looking for beach glass

or go over to the rocks and look for what I could find

in the tide pools. I've included three other poems about

being near the sea, Shoals, Tide Pools, and Tides - Haiku.”
