Your skin was hard

As leather

When I was a child

Taunt sinew of

A tough heritage.

It softened as you aged

Still showing every crease

Of history and devotion.

I was barely 25 when

You passed. . . didn't

Have a clue about the

World, myself, or

Where I was going.

When I told you it

Was ok to let go,

I would be fine ---

I lied.

I've never found my

Leathered skin, that

Heritage, history or devotion.

Still, many days, wondering

When I will get a clue

About the world, myself

Or where I am going.

There will come a time,

I will rest again,

My head upon your chest -

The safest place I've ever been.

this is most beautiful and expressive
what i got from it is to think and to notice how many of allll humans have this issue, not just native feeling for roots
it made me think of the disconnected feeling or sense or idea that is given to us that we are somehow lost or needing to find or to be found
ty for allowing me to think and to express
