-2 Nephi 2:25


A collection of prayers and musings on joy, endurance, sorrow, faith, and dreams. Most poems will not be overtly religious, though a few will.

Mea, every line in that last poem is just so richly dense with meaning.

Wow! I really like the poetic style of this and the formatting also complimented the flow and meaning.

I'm excited to see what else you write! :)
you should know i am a time traveler &
there is no season as achingly temporary as now
but i have promised to return

Even though I'm not Mormon and probably didn't pick up on the Mormon theology, this was such a beautiful poem with subtle yet beautiful imagery. :) I think my favorite lines were "to run hand in hand with you/our mothers' mother's mother's/at our back."
"A poet is, before anything else, a person who is passionately in love with language." - W.H. Auden

What really knocks me out is a book that, when you're all done reading it, you wish the author that wrote it was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him up on the phone whenever you felt like it. That doesn't happen much, though.
— J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye
