You don’t just rise in the morning with your character; it’s formed and reformed every day, pressed together, pulled apart, and recreated by your
company
connections
music
moments
books
browsers
paths
and poisons.

Poetry
I can scarcely
write poetry
when I’m with you
because
I’m far too overswept
by the way it feels
-LMG
Death
Thunderstorms
and hurricanes
deceive us
when they change course,
letting us believe
that disaster can
weave around us,
when death is a tempest
that will not miss.
America
It’s not a symptom
of disrespect
or irreverence
to want America to be better,
but is instead of the purest love:
a love that wants
to carry
something even higher.
-L.M.G.
Prayer
It’s pain,
more than a priest,
that teaches you
how to pray.
Grace
Grace is just a word
until you really
need it,
and
peace is just a sentiment,
until you
don’t have it.
Stress
Stress is like ocean water:
you either
harness its energy
to move beyond boundaries
or you
flounder, paralyzed,
beneath its enormity.
Why
We’ve never
just been
beings of
how,
but things
of why.
Wordsmith Wednesday: Poem XXII
I’ve been terrified
by things many
but nothing
has shaken me
like
how much
I love you.
