RE: These Roots (Original Poetry)

in #poetry2 years ago

I'm glad you enjoyed it, Nancy! Thank you! How interesting that you have indigenous roots. Those people were the epitome of resourcefulness. They lived in such perfect balance with nature. I wish our society could get to that point. Is there anyone left who knows anything about your heritage? I hope you can find a source to learn from. Have a wonderful Friday and good luck with your celebration this weekend! Save a plate for me. : )

The indigenous people live in remote areas because their lands were taken from them and they had to climb the mountains or go to towns with poor roads. It would be interesting to know about them! As for the food I am going to make, hopefully things in my country will improve soon, so I can invite you and your wife to spend a month, at least, in this warm and blue caribbean sea. Here there are very beautiful beaches, almost virgin, with white sand, fresh and blue water. Spend a week near the sea, reading a good book, talking, sleeping with the sound of the waves, with cold beer and watching how the sun sets leaving orange sparkles in the sky. Let all this get better to invite them!!!!

The same thing happened here in American with our indigenous people. It's horrible. They had much to teach us. It sounds like we'd love it there. We sometimes vacation in the Caribbean on St. Thomas and it sounds very similar. Turquoise blue water, white sand, cold beer, and good food. I spend most of my time in the ocean when we're there. We will definitely take you up on that offer when things improve!
