Poems
For an unexpected stormy day
Magdalena
7/20/2025


Today I chose Mark Nepo to hold me through the stormy day.
From his book “The Half-Life of Angels”
Being True
I thought it was my efforts
In being true that made me
Somewhat wise, but I woke
Today aware of those who have
Loved me, feeling the warmth
Of their tea.
And looking back from this
Plateau, which some call acceptance,
I can see that each polished
A facet of my heart, each
Made-me see-through.
It is being held through
The storm that makes us a gem.
You can find his book here.
Marc Nepo,The Half-Life of Angels
Or you can also subscribe to his Substack newsletters.
Snuggle in safety on this stormy day here in HK.
Namaste.
