For my dear friend Irene, here is my poetry Friday try.

Kelsey told me this weekend that she had to write an “I am” poem and an “I too” poem for her high school English class. They had to be three stances long.

NEVER GOODBYE
I am wind
Soft on your cheek
I am rain
Hiding your tears
I am here
Never gone


MY PEOPLE

I too can hear
The whispers of ancient ones
I too dream
What has not been
I too sing
My tribal song
