My Garden

By Fernanda Cabarcos

My garden now lays dry and barren

The toll of getting used to life

The home of monsters I’ve been facin’

What are we without strife?

My thoughts race , always searching

For just a bit of light

The wheel of change keeps turning

New soil finely packed.

I sit and look around me

The landscape once lush green

And know that what’s behind me

Will fertilize the dream.

I look a little closer

And see a seed has sprout

A wave of joy takes over

Fear gone no ounce of doubt.

About the author.

Fernanda Cabarcos was born and raised in the city of Nezahualcoyotl in the state of Mexico. She was raise by her mother Ana Maria Salazar Cabarcos, a writer and artist herself, along with her very close nit family, formed by her grandparents and her three uncles. From a very young age Fernanda took a love for the arts, seed that had been planted by her beloved family through weekly trips to museums, opera and ballet nights, classical music sessions and the freedom to express herself unapologetically .In 2002 she migrated to the US with her mother, and landed in the city of Azusa CA. The challenges of this new “world” were tough, from the language barrier, cultural differences, not to mention the absence of her family brought a huge wave of grief; with those challenges many lessons followed, one of them: never lose sight of who you are. She hopes with her writing, people will have an inside scoop at different walks of life including her own, in order to gain understanding, respect and compassion for one another. When we walk in each other’s shoes and when we learn to see the world in a brighter light, that’s the day we can begin to inspire change.

She would like to take a moment and thank one of the biggest inspirations in her life during her formative years ; Her uncle Juan de Dios Salazar (RIP) , an artist in his own right, who cultivated the love for culture, art, knowledge and exploration in Fernanda, he is in many ways the reason she relentlessly fights to express herself and hopes to spread the appreciation ,passion, and love for the world we live in, which is filled with stories to tell, sights to see and people to know and appreciate. Although he is no longer in the physical world, she knows he guides her way and will continue to inspire her.
