trying my hand at shadorma

you whisper
to me your yearning
so lightly
a feather
voiced with a weight that staggers
inside one small word

About Susan L Daniels

I am a firm believer that politics are personal, that faith is expressed through action, and that life is something that must be loved and lived authentically--or why bother with any of it?
