I Remember:
I remember being a mermaid,
the way the water caressed my hair and skin
The ability to move in fluid life,
Playing and Dancing
I remember being a child of the water,
Frolicing with siblings and kin children
Oh the fun and laughter we had...
I remember being a decendent of a people
who who came across the waters sheltered
inside a great vessel, and taking down our homes
and carrying them across long trails to another
gathering ground. Digging into the earth for food,
Washing in the rivers drinking from the rivers,
watching children grow
and then one day
the white man came.
I remember being at home, taking care of my
family and recieving the news that the
Titanic had sank.
That is something that touches me deeply
to this day. It whispered rememberance into my
ears at the age of thirteen in this life.
Finally a place to be able to say this without
being laughed at!
