If we knew how to find
the lost, we would know
how to rediscover
the parts of our minds
left behind
in battle.

I still think of myself
as a broken place, a drifting isle
with no home.
—Quebrado
I have spent all my years
accepting sad truths.
—Quebrado
No matter how invisible
I feel, I will always be wrapped
in the memory
of life as a captive.
—Quebrado
Danger is a chain...passed from one wounded child to the next. We must stop the danger by breaking the chain. We must learn how to stay safe and be kind.
Margarita EngleI don't understand the whole thrilling verse, but I love the way poetry turns ordinary words into winged things that rise up and soar!

My heart drums with gratitude.
My thoughts sing
with hope.
My mind soars
and whirls
in a dance
of wild fear
and graceful hope.
Marriage without love is just one more twisted form of slavery.
Margarita EngleOpinions. Ideas. Possibilities. So many! How can I choose? Between bursts of lightning-swift energy, I enjoy peaceful moments when the whole world seems to be a flowing river of verse and all I have to do is learn how to swim.
