All Rights Reserved ยฉ

Summary

Poetry Nโ€™ Motions gathers seventeen poems that move like a heartbeat through everyday faith, motherhood, and the quiet storms of identity. With a voice that is at once confessional and celebratory, the collection speaks of resilience in pain, the beauty of ordinary moments, and the deep well of Godโ€™s presence. From the tender hush of โ€œSerenityโ€ to the unflinching honesty of โ€œCuts,โ€ the poet finds praise in struggle and strength in vulnerability. Whether wrestling with waiting, celebrating womanhood, or tracing the invisible forces that shape us, these pieces invite the reader to pause, reflect, and rise. Book 1 opens the Poetry Nโ€™ Motions series with a tapestry of prayer, joy, and hard-won wisdomโ€”reminding us that motion itself is part of the music of faith.

Bumblebee

Last night, I dreamed of a bumblebee

Of which I'm afraid terribly

When I saw it, I doubled back, blinked twice, grabbed my head

Fell down on the ground

And scraped my knee

It had a round bod, and brown eyes

And wings almost too small to see

It wasn't lacking beauty, it had no fears, it was carefree

That was until it approached me

It spiraled out of control, fluttered its wings, and tried taking off in another direction

Fast

It tumbled slowly to the ground after flying into glass

It was so small

It shook, buzzed, and rattled as it tried to pick itself back up

How did a carefree bumblebee become so afraid when it saw me

I'm afraid of it

I'm also allergic

I would've never hit it but I don't want to be near it

I'm afraid of the sting

Did my presence end this bumblebee's life?

Will it get back up again?

Why do I care?

I'm afraid, so why wait to see if it's okay?

It's just a stupid insect, right?

Now's my chance

I could step on it. I could run away.

No words... no words explain why I would take a step closer

The rattling slows

Is it because it's getting weaker or because I'm getting close?

I kneel down with compassion

I'm facing my fears

Do insects cry? Can they even make tears?

I can see the bee isn't as weak as it appeared

Before

As I lean in, it's wings started flapping again

They got stronger and stronger

It persevered, it was going to live

I almost got scared and ran off

After all, that's still a bumblebee, right?

Instead, I doubled back, blinked twice, grabbed my head

Fell down on the ground

And I scraped my knee

In shock to realize

That the bumblebee was me

mariedavismd312: This was Avery spiritual read. The last 2 chapters where very disappointing. That was such a let down unless there is a sequel. Burgess should have been punished for what he did. There was no explanation for his hatred for Jeremiah. I figured he was being set but just had the wrong person. I loved ...
