Analysis of Within the thresholds of our humanity
Within the thresholds of our humanity
Washed in the threshold of our humanity
Amid in the kindness of posibilities
Empty handed with held out hands
In the need of all that’s needed
Led to where we all once started
To the beginning of its ending
Beyond this time and place
As when joined as once offered
To fill this life of who we are
From the healing giver to the stranger
As trees of ancient forest
Fallen amongst themselves
Knowing though not known
Forgotten in its forgetting
Remembered in its giving
Through which transends
And new becomes anew
From what was and is yet to be
