We cannot give up.
We cannot.
It is not the ridiculous, righteous end,
It is the naked dawn.
The beginning.

We are at the edge of a brilliant frost,
A moment of clarity and resurgence.
Be still and listen.

Things are getting better.
Our minds will clear.

Talk out-loud to that person in the mirror.
Tell them courage befriends determination.
We will learn to love again.
