fate finds the
dedicated ones
who'll give
themselves up
for another's
freedom
believing
heart & mind
in a cause
of masked proportions
how honest
and forward
one's mind must be
to swallow
a promise
like
honey
dropped in a
steaming
coffee cup
a family grows
out of destruction
beautiful in its
simplicity
synchronicity
plays a hand
and joins two
unlikely
to form a union
made from urgency
and fosters
a beautiful meeting
of souls
in the process
how fate meanders
beyond our grasp
of reality

good work indeed.

how it works, isn't it?
one gives for another
until they realize
they've nothing left
and they've left the last bit of themselves
in the bottom of a glass
in a tired dishwasher
and they don't really mind
if it births a smile
a heart that feels free
they never mind
for that freedom is their own
