She is fierce, but kind, open and shut. It is a miracle to give birth, but a burden to sustain life, yet we take it in stride. We pour our heart and soul into our children, leaving little for ourselves at times. Often, we lose sight of who we were before we were called "mother". … Continue reading Plight of the Single Mother
Nobody
Who occupies this space when the somebody escapes? The elusive one whose name dissipates. Even nobody is somebody one would argue this case, but how can nobody be somebody when the hollow remains. I am the void. The small echo alone, in this space. Nothing but the sound of how much empty belongs to this … Continue reading Nobody
Set you free
Those words left unsaid Buzzing around in your head The weight of it all crashing in waves Goes on and on like an uninvited song So put it to rest As the day drones on and the minutes they stack up Thoughts flutter on by elapsing in time, one by one gone in the blink … Continue reading Set you free
A song (A capella)
Lyrics I gotta believe that you and me can fall (in love) I gotta believe that you and me can fall (in love again) I see you Standing there arms open wide (for me) Then I see you close your eyes and hide again (you can't hide from me) The sun it shines so bright … Continue reading A song (A capella)
Midnight Magic
Long days turn to lonelier nights I await your touch Skim my mind You will find, all you long for and more Envision your body liquidate You are hot sand Passing through shaky fingertips Flow freely onto me You are my playground Swinging from neuron to neuron I slide down your atoms Sparking sweet electrical … Continue reading Midnight Magic
Closing the distance – a Blog

Quick to judge others and value only significance. I made myself (intentionally or unintentionally) an island. It is a form of isolation that doesn't allow a … Continue reading Closing the distance – a Blog
“Hey There”
Hey there stranger, lingering afar Dark clouds all above you Do you remember who you are? Were you someone whose smile, Might warm the devils heart, Or Was your soul for the taking Did you tear worlds apart? I'd like to say I know you, From the way you walk about Licking your wounds, paying … Continue reading “Hey There”

Tuesday, June 7, 2016 5:52 PM 11:00 A.M Fulton County Senior Center Tai Chi There were five elderly individuals waiting to begin in the gym. They are retired White senior citizens from this rural farm town. I walked in smiling hoping no one would find my existence an intrusion. They looked at me curiously, … Continue reading “If one part of the body moves, the entire body moves”.
Social Media – The invisible third wheel
You text "I miss you" , then get a response "I miss you too" (insert flirty emoji). You finally meet face to face to get some of that oh so very important quality time that you never get. After all you really "miss" each other. Five minutes face to face and an awkward silence later...HELLO! … Continue reading Social Media – The invisible third wheel
Sincerely, Diana
I am not a superhero, because I am powerful, My powers are limited I am only as powerful as the stroke of a brush or the scratch of lead Or the creative edge of the mind, That drops off into the abyss. I am a hero only through the eyes. And the lives of the … Continue reading Sincerely, Diana
