We Are Intertwined

We sling lies

We spew venom

We crawl with the snakes

We scurry with the creatures

Of the emotional night

And Yet

For all the imagined poison

For all the imagined electrocutions

For all the imagined executions

Of my heart

Of their hearts

Of your heart

I remain in love

With your soul

Knowing you

I know me

Knowing we came from the same

Universal womb

Knowing we are one

Knowing we all have pain

Knowing we all have fears

Knowing – accepting

You will always remain

My brother

My sister

My kin

We are intertwined

Beyond thought

Your sufferings

Become my sufferings

And my reach for Love

Becomes your reach for love

We are one

Here

Now

Forever
