for two years
I have lived
in the mountains
growing food
growing hearts
growing dignity
people started as strangers and grew into friends
an eclectic family
brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles
they understand
some matter of my heart
and we’ve worked and argued and come to agreement
we’ve been through our fair share of trials
emerging stronger, clearer, brighter
and as my departure draws nearer
a sweetness is emerging
of learning, living, loving
this people
this place
learning, living, loving
learning, living, loving
learning, living, loving
thank you.
