These totems placed by others, as reminders of power and past,
Help visually aid through our druthers,
and navigate through this world so vast.

Eyes wide open with a depraved soul begging for more of the light
to return.

These observations we make in haste, and gifts that we take for granted, will return with the stories of their own soon enough, in order to finally be heard.

Mirror mirror on the ground,
Look at the beauty that is all around.

The phrase ‘striving after wind’ is in reference to Ecclesiastes 4:16 ESV which is the inspiration for this individual piece.

We watch our words
at times
unable to stop them
as needed
with full
expectancy.
We hear the echoes
of our own shortcomings
in the voices
of our own children
and know
the incompleteness
of our own dreams
in comparison to
shattered ego
and vacant stares.

In keeping with the tradition
of looking at our past
through the veiled lens
of the brokenness in
our present,
we absolve ourselves
of the culpability in
viscious cycles that
once framed the
limits of the collective’s
perceived potential.

Forgiveness may be the only thing that will save us from ourselves.

.

“Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved,

compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, and

patience, bearing with one another and, if one

has a complaint against another, forgiving each other;

as the Lord has forgiven you, so you must also forgive.

And above all these put on love, which binds

everything together in perfect harmony.”

Colossians 3:12-14 ESV
