My Soul’s Truss
©2012, Selena Howard and Olan L. Smith
Tonight my grief is nixed by trust
My spirit seeks forgiving peace
― Its fieriness does burn my soul’s truss
Tonight my grief is nixed by trust
Confused my heart cries, hollow lust?
―A gentle word gives sweet release
Tonight my grief is nixed by trust
My spirit seeks forgiving peace.
(A triolet poem)
