this --
your
resume n poem
is  of a SAINT gurl
u jus dont know...
u cant see
from the inside
 
i see ur wings, bent, torn, bloodstained ...
feet tired, achy, sore ...
mind bionic with missions
of mercy
calling you in da dark
 
keep flying high ma angel
 
ur in hell
going God's work
 
your resume is gold platinum in heaven
 
dunt worry bout here
its jus a temporary
insanity
 
few  hearts here
pure n ripe
for da ripping
 
but yours open wide
to da hellish suffering
it's your jihad (struggle)
 
to impart love
n light
n music
n poetry
 
cuz
GOD SAID SO
 
he picked da purest of
da pure
and lit your soul on fire
 
now DANCE among the coals
of ruins
 
someone has to
 
and in this dance
u resurrect LIFE
and LONGING
and hope
 
just look into the eyes
 
of everyone
u have touched
u will see
a spark of heaven
 
that you planted
 
seeds among rubble
 
let da song begin....
 
Love, A.R. 2007
