To feel deeper than the roots of my backyard tree

An ocean breeze, one that sweeps me to my knees

Down to the bone, stone cold, feelings that hurt

When you have the ability to take it all in

As deep as the blue can go- as strong as a lion’s heart

When you feel exactly how your mother feels

When you can feel the horror in your brother’s eyes

The feeling is stronger than a current and wider than

An ocean. I must take my ability to the great heaven’s sky

Not everyone has the ability to store energy of a once

Dead woman or an angry baby bird. When crying hits you

Harder than a brick wall and brings your heart to burn-

Control the good and take the bad. One day I will need

To find someone to take all the bad before my bones turn

To dust and my brains float away. I can help a stranger,

I feel joy when I see the baby boy’s first walk. With a

Power so strong and so able. No wonder all my time

Spent is silent at the dinner table- over candlelight the

Coyote Moon glistens upon my fingertips.
