Community is…

Resilience in the form of love aimed at dismantling deception and lies

Empires fund war and genocide

To give hope to darkness

Pa’ un dia nuevo

We

learned to strategically aim poetry at bullets

To survive

have you ever been lost inside your mind?

Wondering if you will ever survive the heartbreak that blinds

You at night

 burns open your heart

living in a dream

I forgot to breathe and exist

I completely fell and grew wings

Corazon abierto

Sin tener miedo empiezo con las palabras del viento

Nadie cambia sin acción

O sin tener el corazón abierto

Tears cut off the wings

Glimpsed at the stars

And all these years I still remember

Walking away from it all

And never looking back                 

No se lo que paso, pero yo se quien soy

 The Pacific Northwest rain calmed the pain

And I decided to forget the past and move towards the sun

I got used to living on my own

Sheltering my heart

Each beat tells me that one day I’ll find love that will

Let me fly

 spread my wings  and stand by my side

I wanted to be high in the sky and not think feeling lost at night

The truth is the wings never left me

They held me in my dreams and gave breathe back to me

I stand

With two roads and one bridge

I took the car ride and took the train

Into the woods

Into my lands

Across the ocean is a melody that woke me from a false reality

We call freedom in a paper inked with blood and death

From my ancestors resilience

I was given

 Fire

Air

Water

 earth to wait for the new sun

And here I am

Catching the car ride to the next chapter of this storyline.

Enjoying the ride.
