Love lifted me

A morning poem

landing the year soft

what I wish I knew before I went to seminary

my changing relationship with my father

I've been watching the sunshine

softness doesn't mean I won't show out

the God I've come to know

I take a little time...

rest and contemplation

Curiosity and wonder compel me

why softness matters

Danger Will Robinson

I shouldn't have to worry about your racism

since we are surrounded

when you first believed

This world is not worthy of my Black body

Wise lessons from a candle

The Journey Home

walking away from multitasking

Why you won't catch me reading the Bible in a year

Still here

When words fail

This is not the end

In this here place, we flesh

My process of creating worlds

The extent of hospitality

take the time to listen

The lengths that love will go

A body to love

It's ok to slow down

I hope we find God together

I found God in an entertainment center

Gollum and transforming ugliness

Just another day

Restful, beautiful, hard days

When Susan was lost

Shaky new steps

Musing my way into a PhD program

Hidden in the morning

a Wednesday prayer

A story worth fighting for

Fantasy Friday (Saturday)

The Hero and the Whore

(They) cause me to lie down

AMAA (Ask Me Almost Anything)

Fantasy Fridays

Michael Oher, Black bodies, and manipulation

Watch out for the flying crickets

Play that harp for me

Grief is for Lovers

Much ado about silence

And where do we go from here?

Morning by morning

a poem for the anxious and stressed out

When I have been loved

Poems for the stars

I have a beautiful heart

Words of grace

A poem to close the week

Let the women run

Tyranny of the urgent

on breadcrumbs and guiding lights

Freedom for thee and for me

One step at a time

Illyrian Black girl magic

Allyship Fatigue

Let us be good to one another

When pressure hurts us

Pausing for Juneteenth

Men are worth loving

a poem on a tuesday

Writing a new narrative

Still Singing

A name to be remembered

AMA(A?)

Note to self

Maintenance check

On moving and transcending friendships

Thinking about hope and theologizing with Trey Ferguson

I am my father's child

still singing

Sketchbook

Communion

Making a way out of no way

Violence, Men, and a society that loves

On tides and boats

words left unspoken

a Renewed poem on a Friday

On comic books and imagined worlds

Where did your resilience come from?

That's what I like

A Black woman comes home

Delighted eyes

When death is in the land

When the small wins matter

Why do I write?

Bravery

It's the irreverence for me

Rising in love

AM(A??)

"When did we see you...like this?"

A blessing for the grieving and the fearful

When you get taken off your feet

That's what I like

Good Days

Hagar saw God too.

I found God at the bottom of a tissue box

Poems for your Friday journey

Hebrews 11 and Women's History Month

I will not speed back up

Getting rid of old shoes

I found God in a coffee shop window

Shifting and Renewing

getting back up again

a love that cannot be

When the good doesn't outweigh the bad

Who Can You Run To?

The present doing of a thing

What to Black America is Your Revival?

To be loved

The sinking, lonely, myth of independence

Home

Doing the work our soul must have...the barriers

Jazz and Creation

What vacations can't fix

On my knees again

My Soul is a Witness

God is a Black Grandmother

Are you saved or are you safe?

Crying on a Tuesday

Climbing my first tree

I am a seamstress

The measure of our success

Making Space For Pain

Carried

What Words Cannot Say

The Fatigue of Allyship

I Found God Today

Fighting with the devil

It's All Love

Monkey Boy

Floating into the year like jazz
