Fruitful Living

Church of my Elders

I'm never 

quite prepared

to wear

black attire

I'm never certain 

how to mourn

a soul 

once living

such an odd

and 

sullen task

I find difficult

to abide by

I cannot mourn

that which loved

and nourished

my very being

I will not

make sullen

love cherished

beyond 

measure of flesh

The Long Way Home

Tiny 

desert realm

wind 

rock

and plant

 Singing songs

of rhapsody

for tortoises

crossing ancient 

sun baked sands

Sea of mountains

swallow me whole

I am 

willing

to go

Body

and soul

A Monday Drive Through

The Mojave Nation Preserve

and

The Joshua Tree Hwy

I have received news that my youngest son and his wife

will strengthen and bless my blood ties to The Philippines, China, Arizona, California,

Mexico and The Republic of Texas in the fall with their first child.

The joy brought to my heart is beyond measure.

Me 

Just as my womb has started to die.

I am blessed with two young 

and giving wombs to ease the pains of aging.

From Mother to Grandmother.

From Aunt to Great Aunt.

Life is magic.
