leap on a year | make it yours prosper and grow | wildly
family | blood and the ones who take you in | sunshine and rainstorms
then you fly skyward | to a new destination | holding onto earth
the circle of life | rotates at breakneck speed | daily we pray for peace
can we forgive | what was our life as children | not pass on the sins
gone away again | fleeting moments together | her life's not the same
give her one good word | takes it in like a deep breath | exhales a poem
broken down steel mills | the city of my youth now | a blown down ghost town
what a great life | sun is shining through the haze | a day to give thanks
it's a long way home | when you live in three countries | your heart the anchor
he is her country | in sleep she travels to see | there are no borders
give thanks for today | tomorrow may never come | live the joy life brings
silencing women | all you hear are your own fears | echoing back
no room for fear | to seep in at night on tails | of otherwise dreams
a two year old wise | says strawberries are hearts | makes a sweet life
your heart and mine | entwined for a lifetime | one beat at a time ♥
the mottled grey sky | with sun barely peeking through | feels like my heart
no words | silence soothes the sadness | only time can heal
fly on the wings | of your songs that flew us high | into ancestors arms
our sacred sites | thin the veils between | edges of another world
we are still here | people think we've disappeared | ancestors returned
seeds bleed up through red | earth feeding her children | a blessed birthright
always on the move | winning and losing her ground | around the globe
leaves quiver | water trembles in its pool |the ground zigzagging
underwater | islands are forming | birthing up through shale
onyx colored eyes | shimmer your reflection | dark as lake bottom
catches her breath | on inhale she prays inward | needing more goodness
talk with ancestors | tell them of our plight | may they help us win the fight
against ignorance | against fear and hate | for all that is good and just
