DISMISSAL
by Joanna Gilman Hyde
The Tomato-coloured Couch 9:25pm
I have done battle with God
all My Life
literally & figuratively
I have been caught
& unleashed
I have leashed, caught
& commanded
dismissed
& been dismissed
but Today
I am victorious
in Today’s Dismissal
I have regained
My True Self:
that which is
in God
& that in-which
God is

This is really beautiful and honest.
Thank you so much for this comment. I wasn’t sure about this one but when people started “liking”, and my husband liked it, I was relieved. Your comment means a lot to me.
