After these acts, Smile<\/p>\n
I want to know if Earth asks for a taste
\nof waters within you. Tell me if there’s
\nanother thing other than what I know.
\nWhat does it ask of you this time?<\/p>\n
What tells you you cannot be a bird,
\nroaming and nesting without grieving?
\nKneel before your creator. If words in you
\nare heavy trucks on my nation’s road,
\ntoo difficult to move, do not worry.<\/p>\n
Just kneel. Palms together
\nand gaze at the heavens for seconds.
\nThen walk away, whilst winking at sorrow.
\nYou can write about the torments of solitude,
\nthe nightmares; it’d make a good read
\nfor another of its victims.<\/p>\n
Raise your palms to the heavens,
\na way of surrendering to healing songs.
\nDo not drop your hands in a hurry.
\nSay goodbye to the depression of spirit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
