Between Journeys
By Aileen McPherson
Journeys vast spread far
Lives connected reconcile
Strive for compassion.
My voice has a place in this world,
Calm is forgiving to the soul,
When silence within can be achieved.
I have a presence that embodies
Resolve, Strength, Courage, Power
To overcome any obstacle presented.
Knowledge to share, trade, and glean,
For from all things there is
Something to learn, especially
When guiding or teaching, since
I am a student as well.
I am more than the sum of my being
Worthy of happiness, love, everything
In between spirituality and surviving
On streets mean, living, working, all
While healing comes in many forms
Through many faces.
