Last week
seven of my
children were
all together for
the first time
in along
time,
.
and as
each one
came into
the room
to greet me.
I felt my roots
grow
deeper and
deeper to
the center
of the
universe.,
and in
their smile
I saw the
smile of
my father,
the smile
of my
mother.,
and as
I drank
in their
laughter
I became
drunk with
life.
and when
night fell
I looked up to
the heavens
took a deep
breath into
my soul.
then I
memorized
every star
and shimmer.
up above
my head,
and I knew
and I
was certain
I had finally
found my
place in
the universe.
