How
easy it'd been
losing touch with
life
.
Somewhere
between yesterdays
and now
.
At a time
when surrendering and trust
felt childlike
.
And still spaces
between the rhythms of each heartbeat
was everything
.
Withstanding every challenge, WE PRESSED ON,
Amidst thoughtlessness and hate, WE SURVIVED,
Despite all buffeting storms, WE HAD FAITH…
.
And when
WE DEVELOPED
beyond the artful illusions
warring against our
purposes,
we recognized
that what was envisioned
was far more than we'd hoped,
for the marrow of it was virtuous,
and the purity of intent was unsullied,
regardless of our role in a boot-licking system,
we would attain something distinctive and singular,
TOGETHER, something we could be proud of…
.
Now
new hope
reigned
.
With all
deterrents cast
on about
.
Holding (both)
the life and beat of dreams
and becoming
.
TOGETHER
more than mindless
followers of trend
.

and elevate the joy of life and love? This is poetry!
In time, even two must split and become one. I only hope, that when that happens, either of us will still be strong enough to go ahead on our own.
