~ what is ours ~

.

Our lack of forgiveness keeps us incarcerated, rather than enshrined in the halls of peace.

Our lack of living witness sleeps beside us

waiting for the anticipated divine release.

Our lack of character shows deficiency in all spaces, through all wounds, and in all exchanges.

Our lack of patience knows that resiliency can warm expressionless faces, and bring all time within ranges.

Our center knows when it is off, imbalanced, and strained.

Our heart is never as soft as when it loves though it’s pained.
