Pre me
Before the rain
A glint of light flickered
Awakened by His whispered breath
I was
New leaf
Spring’s announcement
Hidden life now breaks forth
Jubilant laughs of nature’s hues
Alive
Serpent
Stretched skin Slithers
Venom in an apple
Garden of Eden marked with swords
Guarded
Matcha
Ground tea leaves soothe
Until supply runs dry
Cannot touch cancer of my soul
What now
Woman
More than an aide
Amen! bearer of God
Crushing the dragon’s evil head
Atoned
Black tie
Is not required
I need no rare attire
A humble thanks and plea will do
Secure
Resolve
No half and half
Not a question be asked
Only a new life to be lived
I win
