Poem #26 by ForgiveAll

I am of my own waters

And you-

You are of your own.

Yet together,

It may be that it is impossible

Or possible

For two similar,

Yet different waters to mix...

Yet-

Have you ever wondered?

Have you ever wondered why

The early sun

And the midnight moon

Share their beauty

To a world we live in?

Have you ever wondered whether

Together, our tears and dreams

Could ever mix

Like the colorized sky

Creating space for even

The Giants to walk about?

-----------------------------------

We are who we are

We are the sun's rays

Seeping through the visible clouds

That exhibit themselves

On a tangible afternoon

We are those embers

Burning from a single candle

Yet

We are not

We are not but who we are

We are a nation

United

Because that is our dream

We are people running

From its nightmares

To an unknown

Yet known place

We come from the lowest

Standing positions

Yet

We climb towards the highest

Peak of a mountain

And I must tell you

This journey must not end

Because

We the people

Are a people who never

Give up

And so---

We will climb together

To the highest we can go

And you and I

Will hold a back
