why write?

I have to write what I hear in my head, what I dream in my sleep, what my bones ache to express.

My poems tell stories of strength, love, regret, disobedience, loss, hope, redemption, and whatever whispers.

—Cindy B. Stevens

before


before is based on Psalm 139; it might not be finished:


before

 

while in the womb

how can it be

that God knew me

before

 

my breath

my voice

my heart

God’s own

 

my move

my thought

I can’t

flee God

 

my touch

my eyes

my light

my God

 

knows me coming

knows me going

how can it be

that God knew me

before
