Echoes From the Heart

Away from home  . . .
a feeling of nostalgia,
uncertainty and fear
in a new episode to reveal.

It's a classic example  . . .
a known reality;
the prism of contemporary life
that resonates relationship.


What a challenge!
there's a need to remain strong;
with a vision,
and rituals of everyday life.

It goes with the season
that exemplifies yearning for roots,
food, culture, relationship.
moreover, language in its important role
to connect life with weighty wisdom.

Plunged in the island of distress,
poverty, corruption and injustice.
It comes through both generations
that unfold the real picture.

Like the ensemble tone
warmth and passion,
go hand in hand,
as a theme produces gritty textures.

The ability to articulate
those words and meanings,
enable me to begin with
like a siren call, equated with the human heart.
