how we live

it’s what we give
and how we live
learn to forgive
that’s what
life is

the colors
of others
sisters
and brothers
reflections
of mothers
and lovers

power on
self-test
diagnostic check
pass the test
operating system
load to memory
compute systems
from the past

persistence

we know our limits
keeping our distance
natures insistence
of life persistence

just like that

than in fear

the beast

the tower
bearing the brunt of the beast
reflecting the heat
fleeing feet
on the street
seeking shelter
and peace

hold fast

the storm passed
grateful for
love that lasts
friends hold fast
