Let my spirit soar, Upon a rising tide. To stretch my fingers across, This heavenly sky. Untethered is my being, As sweet peace comes rushing in. As foot leaves the ground, And heart swells to bursting. I rise with a rising eddy, Aware of firm earth far beneath my wings. Come and take my outstretched … Continue reading Take A Moment- Michael Erickson

This poem was written on the last day of March 2020. … Continue reading Throwback Friday- Swiftly by Liyona
