Sighs of relief from holding your breath can remind you why she kept you quiet
There's a time to keep it down low, once it surfaces there's no going back
She left you in the dark I remind you, not far from harm but close at hand
You'll never realize it, you're working your best times into this person only to find
A deep secret of darkness fill the air, don't breath in this you told yourself
A bright light will remind you who you truly are and why you try so hard to keep things clean in your heart
Are you a pure soul you ask, she shakes her head in a slow way I see dark things above my views
She isn't anything you thought she was, all you know now is she wants you to keep holding your breaths
Thank you for your support and kind words lately <3

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.
