- She knows me
Wherever I go
If I’m lost amongst the faces
I sense the twinkling of home
In her spaces
No I have never been lost
Only on an exploration
Across the rivers, the mountains
The oceans and continents
I’m most found
When she and I are alone
Her stories rise up into my thoughts
A joyful conversation
As if her places were people
Speaking their welcome
In our mother’s tongue
Whispering in my ear
The lessons of time and travel
The secrets
Of everywhere
Told to me
To share and keep
Gifts from grounded earth
Always holding me up from underneath
