Burning fire —
I step into you
boldly unknowing
where you will lead.
Though you try
to humble, confuse and
mock me
I walk your coals.
Who am I, you say,
to know my soul
to show my trivial self
to think others care?
Like those who have
forsaken you before,
I take a step
into the madness
into the dream
into the blunder.
Your rising flames
surround and scorch me
even torment me
but leave no exit
anymore.

mmm... i like!
Sherrie, I have loved your visual
art, NOW I am deeply appreciative of
your profound poetry. I cannot attend
your opening, but I will certainly be
there in spirit. Your work is all
that anything can be, IMHO, and the
revelation of yourself now through
your poetry is a fine thing. Poems
such as yours are only arrived at
through a lifetime of experience and
searching. Thank you. Love, Jenny HG
Dear Jenny,
I sit here absorbing your words through my entire body. I deeply appreciate what you wrote and feel honored to be seen this way by you. I have admired your work and life and have deeply resonated with your teachings, even early on. Thank you. Love, Sherrie
