Just For Today
A Poem by Rita Lynn Berry
Just for today, I let the walls speak. I let the wind hold me. I trace the circle back to myself.
I don’t know what I’m afraid of
A big brick wall before me stands
Proud and tall, standing in the way of
The gift of promise at my command
I’ve walked among the shadows
Silky sheer and sultry too
Holds a million of my battles
Consistent torment ensues
I’d love to tell a story
Fuzzy bright eyes, my heart is you
My sigh, my breath, mazes, gory
In capsules made for two
One for in the morning
As I share my honey, dew
The other in the evening
Gentle kisses beneath the moon
And then I feel the dawn
As I sail the wind towards earth
I’ve drawn a big full circle
Back to one, back to birth
