Let's B by Yvonne Orr Richardson

Let’s build a house together
You and me…
By giving ourselves to
Each other and
Nurturing our seeds
Into full, grown
Passion personified.

Let’s be young again.
Like caramel apples,
“Peanuts, please.”
Just to appease
The insatiable appetite
Of living.

Let’s live our lives.
Not taking, but sharing
The giving sap of the tree
And the history of its roots
Spread deep in the bowels
Of the fermented foundation
Of our families.

Let’s breathe our beings
Into one existence.

Let’s be alive!
Let’s live.
Let’s be!
