gathering kindling
no stopping us now after coming this far
having broken the cycle and chains of a past
once preventing life from moving forward
why should we wait for death to awaken us
isn’t there more to stars than mere refractions
exactly brought on upon by chain reactions
how many experiences must we accumulate
whether individually or as a collective
before finally realizing all is one in the same
march two thousand nineteen
