Spring / Poem
Spring (Written by Sarah Bennett) There’s washing on the line and a poem in my heart, A fullness of joy that’s been in hiding. Was I the one who sent it away?

Eight / Poem
Eight (Written by Sarah Bennett) I am so many dreams poured together, Keeping me alive. The wanting is woven into my name. I am confusion and love and what is often called naïve But is actually compassion. Forgiveness. I have been given grace so how can I not pass it on? I am the drought … Continue reading Eight / Poem
