Who I Am
a wrinkled orange peel
a soft smooth aromatic pear
I’m sinuous
a delicate fragile dandelion
carried by the wind
carried by the spirit
a gentle breath
planting seeds of life
planting seeds of hope
tough as nails
tenaciously forcing through rock
growing roots in crevices
surviving
going round and round
inside becoming outside
turning twisting on the road of life
wanting to find love
wanting to belong
being a creative person
seeing challenges as opportunities
as gifts
needing a solitary quiet space
for an aesthetic impulse
to become an intuition
to make art
to write poetry
showing the world and myself
who I am
I am wabi sabi
healing repairing
transforming
