When They Gave Blessings

When they gave blessings is a visual poem in four verses.

Verse I

“When they gave blessings,

 mine were poured on the ground

 so I may bend my back  to pick them up

Overturning every obstacle

For opportunities underneath”

Verse II

“When they gave blessings

Mine were flung into the sky

Carried away by the wind

Now I wander in wonder

Where they fell”

Verse III

“When they gave blessings

Mine were put in a cave

Buried deep with in the earth

Never to see the light of day”

Veres IV

“When they gave blessings

Mine were placed in a basket

And sent down a river

Now here I am

Always on the brink”
