There is a secret love language between the
sunlight and the ground
 
When the warmth reaches the cold, dark earth,
it explodes with life
 
Complicated symbiotic relationships are unfolding and growing all around us
 
If you are very quiet you can hear them communicating
 
When I was a girl the land used to call my name
 
This memory is embedded as sharply in mind
as the scars from summer black berry scratches are etched into my skin
 
I will never forget
I am simply a small piece of that place
