Each a separate star
in the sky, a thread
in the tapestry
the gifts I feel called to share
a constellation of light, me
At the center my sense of him
my relationship with God
but all the rest
part of who I am
who I am meant to be
Not one single path
messier than this
grays, colors, blending
bleeding into one another
a more complicated hue
all needed for the picture
the whole of the tableaus
that there wouldn’t be a missing piece
together alone the whole of me
as God intended from the start

on the multi-faceted roles,
personae that I have,
as poet, attorney, Christian,
husband, son, father, neighbor,
friend, etc.
