More Poetry- Looking Back to Look Forward

We are 


the lost, the lonely hearts that seek
relief- those shattered fragments of
souls, smothered by the guilt. We are


confused by all and yet we try,
to find ourselves among the thorns.
The tribulations of life leave

us here- with scars and broken hearts.
Desiring connection over all-
Discovering humanity.


~Carol Clonan

I'm currently putting together my final project for my Poetry class which is a book of 10 poems I have written over the semester. I reread this one and thought it was fitting to add here. This is what this class has been to me a process of discovering humanity. As I look back over what we have done this last semester and look forward to where I go from here I hope to keep this spirit alive.
