	The tropical sunshine kisses the land 
Folks play the tunes passed through seasons 
toiling and breaking the brown soil, wet baked 
working till their skin is torn in hearty song 
 
Behind them comes the mothers of nature  
sowing the seeds of our living beneath the soil  
young chased butterflies in dreamland future 
saw a twisted tendril and regretted the broken soul 
 
Sweat drips from the honest brow 
in a willful toil bended as a bow 
sun rolls out and evening comes 
body aches happier to sweet homes 
 
Sleep steals the heart of young tired limbs 
crickets glinting speak with legs nimble 
in the art of patience passed unto every son 
folks wait the forthcoming fruitful season.

 Writer Profile

Poetry is passion; my passion - It is the voice of the voiceless. I write poems through inspiration from day to day events and experiences in my life. With what happens in our society I hope to create awareness, inspire positive responses and in turn, learn from others.
