Every day I walk the line
Mother, partner, Mommy, sister, Mama, daughter
Writer, 10 minutes for my words.
Every day the line bends unexpectedly
bringing one me to the front
responding, nurturing, listening. Welcoming all ideas.
Every day—surprised by the line,
I watch as my varied selves
exist together, filling me with inspiration.
Every day the line of my pen
becomes bolder as my lives unite,
begging words to find the page.
