blood borne

 
~ i ~
the blood of my mother
runs deep
as magma moves
far beneath surface of earth
formidable force unseen
a living example of passion
defiant in the face of convention
infused with strength of conviction
currents prone to extremes
suddenly explosive...
...when pushed
I am of her
she is of me

~ ii ~

the blood of my father
flows gently
as winds of loving patience
limits tried & tested
found to be flexibly solid
spine rising defiant
fierce in the face of diversity
meeting each demon unyielding
always quietly defeating
stillness turning ugly...
...into healing
I am of him
he is of me

~ iii ~

I am forged
of blood & steel
a powerful merging
2 incredible strengths
cured neath baking sun
cooled in gales of stormy night
shattered upon the stones of life
earth & air birthing water
I am of them
they are of me
an unstoppable blending
more than DNA
