Brick by brick you built your own house with your hands,  and beyond plaster and wood you built a home.

You once resided   in the heart of the goddess   of fruitful abundance.  A house nestled   in-between   the thinning orchards   that bore life.

Green thumbs and calloused hands turn dirt into a bed of flowers.  I watch you casually sprinkle life into a seed and watch it grow.  Mother to children and mother nature you share nothing but love.  I pray that one day my hands will too learn some of what you know.

And as we all age   the new life shows signs   of thinking like you   when you were that age too.  You are the life blood.   The necessary pieces   that help us put together   who we are   and where we come from.

OctPoWriMo Day 23: Santa Ana Winds It’s barely seven in the morning and I’ve just gotten out of bed. The sun has just come up over the horizon and I’m already sweating what seems like bullets of lead. I get dressed, walk out the door, and feel the wind on my face. The weather is [...]
