out of anonymity

I am

a mother
fighting
to protect and provide

an almost-recent divorcee
with all the luggage that implies

an educator
struggling to maintain
balance
between work that feels like my life
and a life that demands i stay sane

an athlete
who needs to drop twelve thousand pounds

a gypsy
who knows more about passing through
than hanging around

an easy addict
to beauty, to vibes, to life, to great food
to anything that makes me feel good

a writer, i'm not
more like
a bountyhunter for
wayward thoughts

always in search of words that inspire
connections my mission
peace my desire
my name means sun
some know me as fire
