DEWDROP
Dewdrop glistening
At the dawn of a new day
The promise of light
SOON
Soon my time will come
For life is slipping away
I look to the sun
WIND
The wind carries me
I am a wisp in the air
At last I am free
THE DEEP
Deep calls to deep cries
Rise up into the heavens
Water covers me
LIGHT DIVINE
Light divine
Shine on
Take me to my resting place
Down in the dark earth

Lorraine Lewis has always written poetry but began to write more earnestly after having serious advanced blood cancer, going blind, and becoming wheelchair-bound. She greatly enjoys experimenting with different forms of poetry, preferring shorter forms. Some of her work was published in The Short of It – Volume 1 – The Sound of Brilliance and in The Short of It – Volume 2 – Reflections & Revelations. You can find all her work I’ve shared – reblogs and features HERE. She received the Pushcart Prize nomination for Winter’s Beauty featured in 2022.

Lorraine is an inspiration to us all, her poetry is deceptively simple. It contains many strands woven together, unpicked, and woven anew! ❌❤️❌
