Roots<br />
Hearing my mother speak Welsh<br />
I am at one<br />
with her voice,<br />
that sense of place<br />
where her tongue<br />
rests <strong>and</strong> feels at home.<br />
I know the language<br />
breathing inside<br />
imagination's flame.<br />
Vowels across time,<br />
a craft to decipher<br />
like a scent which bloomed.<br />
I witness her happiness<br />
that only the words can bring,<br />
those natural roots which grow within.<br />
Byron Beynon<br />
