Placeholder

lightning struck
and a sparrow fell
into the nurturing arms of the great oak
the branches grew and grew
and it built a home.

and eighteen years of fair weather
blessed the bond
built in the roots so deep, so strong
in every vesicle, a memory.

but one fowl storm
and the branches gave way
to drop the sparrow in its sleep.

trust is earned
but life is short

and i can no longer fly.

Details | Hannah Del Castillo Poem

From the Dirt Came a Miracle

no one could predict 

a white rose
blooming

in the rubble of adversity.

Its leaves and thorns
Clipped
and eaten away

Singed by
the unforgiving sun.
Battered by
the relentless storm.

Grounded by
Its last root.

Worn
with shattered hopes
for a garden.

Still it stands

Defiant --
with Love
with Compassion
with Fight

and hope
that fragile thing
fragile like those leaves
that defeated the wrath of the elements.

though the sun may burn

now is not the time to wilt
now is the time
to adapt

and rise taller than the rest.
