"Light and Only Light"

The poem "Light and Only Light (I am goddess!)," my freedom-to-be-me-empowered-woman-identity poem, is not included on the CD The Goddess and The Skylark, Dancing Through the Word Labyrinth; however, it is one of the poems that contributed to the poet Aberjhani's early impressions of me. It's also a poem used by college students for poetry readings and posted by women in forums to declare strength. I'm proud of this poem for that reason.

You can get an idea of Aberjhani's impressions of me or what I may have inspired in him if you read his poem "The Golden Art of Dreaming Naked." The poem is posted with his vignette "The Story of Nordette Adams' Un-Posted Birthday Poem," written after the passing of his mother, WillieMae Griffin Lloyd of Savannah, Ga. "The Golden Art of Dreaming Naked" is included also in his new book, Visions of a Skylark Dressed in Black. You may download a free sample of the book at its link.


The poem itself has been archived.
