Coming of ageA Poem by Season Gracecoming of ageDisruption in my head, blistering
aches Pain runs deep like the blood of
my poor ancestors, on a boat with a quest to free land Traits of storytelling pass down
to me My Native American roots lost in
the circle of life This misconnection with a piece A disturbance in my soul weeps in
a meadow; waiting My mother cried, the tears of her
mother, and I saw the depths of sorrow The surface of the earth cracks
with a vibration, a leap of faith, dust shattering down A vision of what a mother sees crashes into me Prospects of the future hold tight
in the victory of sweet joy Disabling function to freeze
reality Focus and not let the difficult
impede Settle upon society, embedded in
us like it is to breed © 2011 Season Grace |
