No longer hear wailing of unfed babes, whose only nourishment, is gulped in air. No longer feel hot breath of hate chilling my back, because we do not look like each other, or her or him or them. Opened eyes dream of a day when I see holding of hands in one room, many ethnic people from many colored lands. When I hear rippling of laughter from sturdy bodies fed from the heart of our loving nurturer, mother earth. When I hear the comforting embrace of your words against my skin because we see each other her him and them. Opened eyes dream of a day when the rainbows in the sky become rainbows in our hearts, and we see the rainbows in each other. Daria Garcia
