from God breathed dirt
to a kingdom in the sky
out of the ashes we rise
together we stand
united and broken and hand in hand
standing on street corners
hiding behind closed doors
we all belong to one another
You are mine and I am yours
we’re threads of the tapestry
we’re texture on the wall
obscure and beautiful
We are part of it all.
So grab your brush sisters and brothers
yield your emotions in tow
let’s paint the world and each other
with the truth that we know
let’s plant fruit for the harvest
watering them with love to grow
finger painting a garden
abstract and aesthetic
nourishing not forbidden
yet let us not forget
we’re all pieces of the puzzle
some of us short some of us tall
together we will fight
to turn darkness into light
broken and united we stand together
For we are part of it all.
