Peace Will Follow

by Posted on

I wish to be

more fully human.

No room for worries

abandoned and alone.

I wish to see

more truth peeking.

Beyond the picking

scabs and wounds

I wish to gain

more rooftop access.

Kicking bare feet

Saturn and moons.

inspired by my cells affirmation – Joaquin Pheonix’s best actor speech, The Academy Awards 2020.
