It takes a lifetime to learn
the difference between
/bending and breaking/
and another to repair the tears.
the beauty of breathing is found
living in the complicated
moments between truths.
And among these truths
the wise know the strange fragility
of being here, on, earth.
and how well dawn has become at
greeting us all
in varied ways.
They are forever
aware that hurricane winds
crush homes,
with memories inside
while providing
coolness for your face.
