This difference exists

1.
all that makes us
sink beneath the
weight of simply
being
shed
float
see this?
itʼ s all we need
2.
in the darkness
we search for a
pinprick of light
we follow the stars
until we find the moon
we sit and watch it
rise
fall
itʼ s impossible to
feel alone
even when we
feel so small
3.
do dream
chase tails of light
through landscapes
dotted with
a future free from
this
difference
exists
embrace the space
in which we
the “other”
live (love)
