Of this moment

A wave sent like a kiss
A bridge Across this rift

In moments
brought To points of interest

Which combine with
What reason we exist

Of this to be a true gift to life
Lived with purpose

Beyond the drift
Of quiet summer afternoons

Beyond tides
Which come and go

Leaving behind driftwood
Of dreams

Beyond our means

And of what things
Too unkind

Miscarriage of
Truth Honor Justice

In the continuum
Of our interactions

Characterized by stories Told
to children being put to bed  

Of lives led
Or is it of lies fed

Lest discovery
Of a different case file

reveal cruelty
behind the smile

Stories you may not bother to refute
To reconcile by other means,

achieved, perhaps by trickery.
Planting seeds of doubt

Misdirection, perhaps
Feeding the illusion of nobility

As if its cost

Erased In the profusion
 of lives lost

In the war crazed tap dance
of confusion

While those whose lives
fulfill a little everyday

More than just enough
to get by In times of plenty

to bear fruit
Though they may sometimes

reveal more
An ugly truth

About this aperture
in time

the lens Through
Which we express

Our version
of the love

Of this Reality
Vitality Morality

As we extend explore
Defend

which ends
suit our purposes

We observe Preserve
have chosen to serve

In=with Reliance
Compliance

Defiance
In such manner we may approve,

In reflecting those versions
Of our evolving truth sets

We use
like fine china


Our mindset
lost/found

Among others
Of

Our Kind
