so fragile we are
& so beautiful––
we are the goodness
that Plato dreamed
& the truth.
what lives on
is love––
the indestructability
of the handclasp &
the hug.
we believe in each
other
& affirm the heart
of God.
we smile
we laugh
we weep
we touch
we are blessed
& blessed
again &
again
forever embraced
by celestial
joy
