Yokes
Remove yourself from the
vanity of your life;
create friendships -
the bonding of lives,
find righteousness.
We are images of God,
but not as pure; when
mindful of God,
we humans
live in Grace.
Trapped in
unfulfilled life;
shed the yokes
society suggests
we wear.

I am a retired high school and college professor. The last 10 years of my teaching was as a college professor of literature and writing. I have self-published one book of prayers and meditations and am preparing another book of poetic odes to faith and love. I am truly honored to be welcomed into this group.
