read by some.
lived by all.
a quiet life of faith.
executions in the name of religion.
a mother holding a folded flag.
friendly fire.
tears that stream for a dead child.
weeping because of guilt.
dying in a hospital bed.
a visitor you haven’t seen in years.
finding renewal in the arms of a lover.
finding a lover in the arms of a friend.
twenty-three seconds left in the game.
a ticking clock echoing in a widow’s home.
granite steps and marble columns.
protesting from a grand stage.
being imprisoned by loneliness.
living alone to recognize freedom.
accepting that you are different.
desiring to be different.
anything.
everything.
