Holding Ground
The trees stand boldly,
swaying in the gentle wind,
but still holding ground.

Manipulated Chances
A soccer ball is kicked from a foot,
quickly rolling across the grass.
The grass understands the ball's duty,
and lets itself be flattened
from the glossy sphere.
It's trapped by a cleat
that rolls it away from others. -
Grounding roots
I gently sketch the branches
of a great pine tree.
I craft them to be delicate
but sturdy.
They hold power,

Codes Into My Flute
My fingers dance across my keys,

I snip the wire, letting it fall.

been harder to hurt, laughed when i wanted to cry,
cried when i wanted to scream. -

Technically...
Technically, I’m an immigrant;
I wasn't born here.
Technically, I’m too young,

Who will speak at the earth’s funeral?
Even if was never
About legacy
Your memory
Cannot mean nothing
Your family

Bonds
Two creatures
inseparable
a bond stronger than that of two people;
returning to the comfort of the other
even after time has passed.
There for the other
stronger together
