This next poem is excerpted from page 26 of the book Rhythm & Rhyme which you can find on Amazon, as part of the Playing In The Sandbox Of Words, poetry book series:
Rooted in this Life
When it comes to roots
I feel I have none…
For what roots have I?
A mix of mostly unknown
European ancestry.
A family of loners
Misfits are they and I.
A look around my home
Reveals a close relationship with nature
And native roots, a tribal theme
Appropriately enough – of unknown origin
Favoring purple, deep reds,
greens, brown and blue
All colors of nature…
What roots have I?
* Written in December ’08 during another quiet moment where I look at the contradiction of wanting roots and being scared of having something to lose, of wanting to create a home that reflects myself without out knowing what that might be.
