Another from the 1984 thing...
All the poems dated in 1984 refer to leaving a church I had loved and served.
I wrote this after leaving a church I had attended for 10 years and loved with all my heart. But, hey, that's been since 1984 and I'm still kicking.
This is my humbling attempt at writing a villanelle.
While writing this I had a cool revelation - QUIT searching. ALL I really NEED is right here, in front of me, inside of me. *sigh* And all that work (searching, roaming) for nothing? LOL
