i awaken
to words of kindness
from friends
and strangers alike
but there is nothing
strange about this pain
that we share
this bridge
we have all built
through the sorrows
of our time
grants us more
than a fleeting respite
as we gain
the understanding
that none are alone
that every struggle
affects us all
that our face is seen
our voice is heard
our truths, known
it is only in togetherness
do we stand
to court the hand
that bears the gift
of the morrow’s ingress
know, my friends
there are no strangers
among us
let us walk bravely
into vales
of unknown consequence
for love
shall harbor no secret
when its light
has finally shone
to guide us home
so it is, was
and shall ever be
this dream
e’er haunts humanity

You always seem to formulate exactly the message you want to strike… perfect aesthetics, rhythm, rhyme, imagry, whatever you like… you formulate exactly what is to be said and touch souls every time. Thank you for such powerful words each time you prepare a piece and for subsequently connecting souls.
