from the shadows of an uncertain world
a dawn of change and growth occur
from the ashes of fear, understanding unfurled
ancient and beautiful from ear to ear
pardon my stubbornness: it conceals deep love
and your bluntness betrays a purpose of light
from the seasons of conflict, as below or above
comes a harvest of sweetness, a nurturing delight
we don't always see into each other's lives
the intricacy and nuance of how our worlds work
i'm grateful you see how my path does writhe
know that i see how you fight, clean and ****
from dawn to dusk we walk through and through
and unfurl from the ancient what we know to be true
