it’s okay to rest and reflect on events that will shape our future
trapped behind a fence the flower rests against it and blooms anyway
the easiest thing is also the hardest thing for humans to do
we should be able to find our sanctuary and live life in peace
in moments of grief many promises are made that need to be kept
all progress begins when we decide to stand up and take the first step
dark clouds move quickly but because we’re warned, the storm isn’t a surprise
history unfolds outside my door, down the street i stop. to listen.
what was normal just a week ago, is now eyed with suspicion
there is always light to chase away the darkness when we make our own
