My own perception
I’m at a place in my life
At an age I didn’t expect to witness it living outside of me—
The unfolding rewards
Of my life’s work
Challenging
The status quo
Of parenting
In my bloodline
Falling in grief
Rising in love
No space that held between them
Breaking the sound barrier inside me
Tilled my fallow ground
Between a rock and a hard place
Blooming in the cracks
Walls coming down
Kill the vibe
Start a better one
Gates going up
with a key this time
Honoring capacity
Expanding possibility
