Awesome Despite

To be awesome is to inspire awe.

I am awed by her

as her heart is inspired by the flowers

growing between trailers,

weeds between the edges of concrete squares.

Life prospering

despite the asphalt,

despite the smog,

despite the smell on humid days

drifting slowly from the paper mill,

burning our lungs.

Leaves grow

like my daughter's curls.

I am in awe.
