Michael Ann

::::::::::::::::::::::::::



Michael-Ann was born in the wagon of a travellin' show. Her mama used to dance for the money they'd throw. Her daddy did whatever he could. preach a little gospel, sell a couple bottles of Dr. Good.



from the heart & soul of poet and friend Tony Haynes:



I WISH YOU GOD.



i wish you God in those familiar places.

i wish you God in friendly faces.

i wish you God as wide as this universe is spacious. Benevolent and Gracious.



i wish you God.



i wish you God in a flower.

i wish you God in sweetness and sour.

i wish you God transparent, transcendental. Experienced and Gentle.



a God so amazing.

you can't find the words or phrasing.

so you just raise your eyes to the stars.

and you start gazing.



you don't speak. you hum.

you don't just seek. you succumb.

raising your arms above your head.

your heart is warm. and your Spirit is fed.



what do you know? my wish came true.

now I can see. God lives in you.

in your walk. in your talk.

it's like a pull and a tug. i feel it in your hug.



there's no friction, no issues.

we're no longer at odds.

our relationship is stronger.

i'm so glad I wished you God.
