Excerpt
"Keeping Balance on the round orb
is a masterful task
to walk amongst blades of grass
as born free beings
not the shattered decendants
of ancients whose memories
have been lost by the
deceptions of our captors.
New memories make their way
through old ground,
old ground gives way for
all freed beings to walk with
towards horizons rising out
from flame and famine.
Memory survives with a new name
Hope."
Linda Joy Burke
