“in This Moment To Myself” Poem by Lisa Visor

In this moment to myself
I grab hold of my sanity

and keep it close to my soul
an unquiet mind
a sinner with no faith
trying to be whole

reaching for the better part of me
for the quiet

that revolves around my universe


Don’t pretend to know me

To know the song that’s in my heart
To know the beauty in my spirit
Or the content of my character

In this moment to myself
I Grab hold of my sanity

and keep it close to my soul
Wanting to be whole
I am stolen moments
Conversations with myself
A quiet that revolves around my universe


The truth of the matter
I am a portrait of the blues
conscious conversation
acts of faith
time out of order
and time standing still
I am Gods theory
laying down my burdens
with freedom in my heart
