The things we dare to do
are magnificent
as simple and as noble
as opening our hands
risking blistered feet and the very possibility
of being hurled to the cold floor of our own cynicism

the sun still seems to make its trajectory across the sky
and although nothing seems in place, the things we dare to do quietly are in awe of us
as we gather all our hanging parts, and lift our heads

to not give into hate.
to not give into hate.
