"Storytelling"

 

There is this understanding...

That the road traveled goes both ways...

In some cases its a guarantee...

But direction always begs to be acknowledged

So the questions continue to remain...

We are all a story being told

The beginning...

Some where in the middle...

And an end that has yet to be...

Comprehension comes in understanding

The effort taken is done in compassion

Kindness can be a priceless gift given

As we hold space for another

We are existence given

Our vision contains a certain view

That's why, when allowed, reflection can be so deep

What allowance is given?

How far is tolerance pushed?

What demand has been put upon our embrace?

Because there are limits...

Everything is a possibility

Yet sadly, there comes a time when next to nothing can be done...

The distinction is in the choice

A minds point of view...

Footsteps may lead...

But the residue behind us always follows

Causing shadows to remain when a dividing line is made

As it becomes “me” against “them”...

A world buried within the world

Contained within and with out

Words state the purpose calling

As the difference takes up arms

Because the hurt felt is worth more than then next

Making every moment following an act of war...
