Analysis of gift.
Heidi Hollingsworth 1988 (Johnstown)
a day so happy.
sleepy summer morning with my young lemon tree.
sipping nectar from fragrant flowers,
clarity in those precious hours,
hummingbirds and bumblebees.
whatever I have suffered, I forgot.
shame and guilt removed from thought.
in my body, I felt no pain.
when standing up, I remember my name.
once a stranger, my true self again.
a day so happy.
