Aromatic blends just out of reach
Description-defying vivid and lush
Heat-filled hugs a sought-after touch
Cupfuls of faith of which needed is much
Morning fresh air newly made promise
Silence unbroken memories of instance
Care edifies comfort pungent precise
Silken seductive to ensnare and entice
Inhaling peace abjuring demise
Obscuring reason obliterating lies
Olfactory senses gift heightened surprise
Obeisance to herbs healing and wise
Recommended ritual relaxing respite
Surrendering stress not surrendering fight
Reconnection of breath by fragrant delight
Support for the weary to inspire and unite
Scented cascades trouble reprieved
If but an instant sorrows deceived
Visible steam from steeping achieved
Perfumed exhalations peace seen and believed

Rain didn’t stop Mala. Swaddling for Edgar covered the baby boy’s body and she held her other son’s, Burton, six-year-old hand. The mud, muck, and mire didn’t hinder her from staying on course with her mission. From Pennsylvania, they all trekked to get closer and closer to land that was never promised but simply implied. Each step produced more mud caked around her sneakers. She didn’t care. Her rucksack provided them protein packs to put into plastic bottles and nuts and berries and dried meats to keep their muscles in good health. Water hydrated. She rested. The baby had been asleep the entire time that she had started her journey and her eldest son remained silent throughout the excursion as well.
