finding a way to thrive
nestle your body in the cracks and
allow your own feet to root
reaching for the goodness
beyond knowing
that gives a soul rest
the truth is
it’s so easy to get wrapped in others
but you can’t bloom if you don’t know
who you are
let the sun turn in you
and remind you of your
own tenderness and knowing
plant yourself in the footsteps of your own kindred
finding the treasure in the yellow flowers, red clay and ponderosa pines
that rise within
