The edge of wilderness
Becomes option or dark lining
Grass root campaigner
With fins to swim the oceans

Grandchildren taste like heaven
Thinking like fawns
Pushing the right stones
Building forests of sisters
Where I once prospered

Dark skinned seas
Whistle 3 wise men
Do I live in a different place?
This lodge of dreams….
Where camels walk and doze
Grandfather taught me to fish
Giving thanks to morning liquorices
& moon whiskey

I smell the smoke of a campfire
Which I taught my son to build
Worlds End
Painting a house with arms
How to hunt for food
Hiking fire breaks
Exploring laced imagery
Speaking balance

Sweet grass forces of effortless days
Everything that is
Wear robes against the cold
With the beat of one’s own
Remembering metal works we enjoyed
Long before we were

Where gifts take shape of sun
Our neighbors, whom we chose to know
My heart walks in circles
Concentrating on every breath
Revisiting a ballet of sunsets
Catching fireflies of afterlife
Using me as a vessel
Beyond sound
Ethereal
Constancy

Memories are so strange...
soemtimes so good, and other times painful, confusing, reassuring...
I love when new ones are made
and you know as you stand and do something
"This is a memory!"
And then it is.

Great write

Always, Alyssa

He was a man of sorrows
...I am a girl of tears.

the best thing in the world
is to be used
by someone
to give them pleasure
or knowledge
or peace

and if you get all three
you are a god

kewl stuff lady!

"Using me as a vessel
Beyond sound
Ethereal
Constancy"

There it is, the perfect ending for this poem.

I believe the constancy, my friend,
is that you are still so very rich
in all you have been blessed with.
