Feathery Words

Sometimes I feel like the “good job” I get from people who hear my poetry comes with a side of pity, smothered in “please don’t beat me with your bible,” and topped off with “I hope this lady doesn’t lose it ’cause she obviously has issues.” Other times I get the “good job” that’s garnished with “thank you for sharing” and drizzled with “I thought I was the only one who felt that way.” The latter being the “good job” I live for…it comes from the essence of a soul that has been lightly brushed by these spoken words that God has so carefully written on my heart. So this is my prayer… “Lord may my words…your words be like feathers that tickle the souls of those who hear.”
