How We Saved You

We all cling to parts of you-

Your hair, your eyes, your laugh

Use them as cuttings 

Stem and root,

Frantically plant them.

If you were an ember 

We would feed you the very air we breath

Instead- We submerge you in our strongest muscle, 

use our flesh as soil.

The pieces of you we desperately plant

we hope will grow

in my heart,

in all of ours,

Grow.

A wonderful, positive write, beautifully written on what each person in our lives has the potential of being in our lives, if only we allow that nurture and love to grow. Love it.
