Treading 


After

he breaks her heart

he needs 

her

to forgive and 

forget

But…

she needs 

him

to try to restore and 

remember…

how 

she used to fly

Before 

he broke her wings,

 two lovers 

treading 

’round reflections of clouds 

in puddles

My name is Kimberly Vargas Agnese, though I've previously written as Kae Bucher. I was born in the Florida Keys, but grew up in the Bay Area before migrating south to the San Joaquin Valley. As I ride barefoot around Fresno, I consider the paths I've chosen and the crossroads where our country seems to have perched itself. Thanks to my Romani ancestry, many people groups reside within me and my poetry tends to reflect this. I love welcoming the sunrise with my Native American flute. I've been rumored to juggle while teaching students how to write. And if you can't find me, I'm probably hanging out with Jesus listening to parables.

      • Hi Kae, when I studied theology I discovered how the majority of Christianity comes out of our Jewish beginnings. I am curious do you meet for worship on Saturday or Sunday. Do you celebrate both Christian and Jewish festivals? What do you love most about being a Messianic Jew? I believe that when the great religions of the world work and pray together we can be part of healing the world. You seem like a deeply spiritual woman and I feel blessed to know you. 🌹Roland

      • Hi Roland:)… my daughters and I celebrate both holidays… :)…awesome invitations in Scripture from Yah to enjoy festivals… Pesach, Shavuot, Yom Kippur, Purim:)… much fun:)… we celebrate a holiday every week on Shabbat …:)… how great is that?… some see the festivals as a bad thing we are freed from… they equate festivals with law… but how awesome that Yah would command us to go on a holiday… to give us different holidays and seasons and new moons to direct our eyes towards Him… to celebrate with Him… throughout the year…Part of the blessing given to Christians is to be grafted into the Jewish family… much understanding comes from being Jewish… my fathers family fled Hungary and Galicia just before the holocaust… celebrating being Jewish connects me and my daughters to our Jewish family around the world … and for me… Jesus (Yeshua is the meaning of life)
