Tami Sloan Tsark – 7/12/15



HOME:

She is Shelter for hearts lost.
She is Glass for ceilings no longer constraining her gender.
She is a Door that closes to painful intruders.
She is a Window that opens to new ideas.

She is a Structure, built to shield the hearts from the bullets of their past.
She is Shelter.

PLACE:

He is a desert, dry and flat.
He is a mountain, tough and majestic.
He is an ocean, vast and wide.
He is a jungle, wild and chaotic.
He is a lake, calm and serene.
He is a street, crowded and frenetic.
He is a stoop, inviting and open.
He receives and welcomes:
He is the shore. 


LAND:
They are a land, haunted by their pasts.
They are a land, struggling for peace.
They are a land, looking for new horizons.
They harvest a crop, hoping to feed the future.
