“I do the best I can in the life I’m in” – quote, Burton Parka
A shy and anxious girl at first,
it seemed as though she could have
done a pretty-world life.
And then she had to go.
The path lead through
rules and languages that weren’t hers.
Traverse some echoes and wastelands
where things were rough.
In bondage forever and a day.
The wild mountain people rejected her.
She was speechless then. Defenseless.
Disoriented and Incredulous.
Dark waves carried her and tucked her under.
Silently she sunk into some swamps.
When that time was up
the toys and letters appeared
to supply the missing link.
The dance ended and she
began to listen to the wind.
The gift was deciphered and
that’s when she found her voice.
She said: NO!
Only years later did it come to her
and she started to say it then: YES! and YEESSS!!!!!!!
