With All That I Am
Morph of wind and rain
Deep roots and winsome limbs
Stretching into the heat of ancient mines
Reaching for the light of stars
Mother earth and Father times
Call me daughter

I am maleable strength
Set into diamonds
Starlight sees and whispers roar
Escapades on funnybone shore
Effervessence corked too tight
Lifts the roof, let out at night
Warm if the tempo is just right

But only you would know
If observed the wind to blow
If deserved one gasping glow
Cause Momma didn’t raise no fool
An hourglass is not a tool for sport
More than blooms with stems cut short
Morph of wind and rain

"An hourglass is not a tool for sport" - this takes me on a journey of the past.

I enjoyed this so much, it was hard to find the lines that caught me up the tightest.
