We began to write
The thoughts that crossed
The line that we had written in the sand
The boundary they sold us on these lands.
And we’ve become the old age rising
Understanding word beyond the spoken
What can compare to the things we see?
It feels like the simplest summer breeze.
Some shot bolt found our heart the target
No point to stem the steed now bolted
The inky reed quivers in every hand
I've come across these beautiful lines
That you have loved
into this sand.

We began to write
The thoughts that crossed
The line that we had written in the sand
The boundary they sold us on these lands.
And we’ve become the old age rising
Understanding word beyond the spoken

Some shot bolt found our heart the target
No point to stem the steed now bolted
The inky reed quivers in every hand
I've come across these beautiful lines
That you have loved
into this sand.
Expressing how writing together has helped us discover new and better places. It applies particularly to conflict zones, both physical and perceived. It is valuable to find the real reason for a fence, wall, or entrenched belief by encouraging written expressions of the hearts involved. Once ignited in us, the power of words take over.
