The bravest act
What of the hearts of those who were apart
Owned on separate lands miles away from their beloved
As if
These attachments have no value... they kept paired animals
How does one survive with heart break around every corner
Silently screaming prepare yourself stay aware
When my lungs fill with air I thank them for that brave act of love to create family
In the petri dish of abject debasement
Makes me hold on to love separated by time and space for it is the very roots needed for a bright future
Love is what keeps folks pushing to see the morrow rise in cotton candy splendor
Keep your eye on the prize
Love deeply and unapologetically
Inform your beloved every chance you get
Love passionately and unconditionally
Love with every cell of your being
Folks died so you could love honor their sacrifice
I love you, forever
