This
This
Transcends almost everything
The energy
Newness
And of course
Beauty
Uncorrupted
Undamaged
By our world
Yet
This is the hope of the world
But first, this must survive
Uncorrupted
Undamaged
And history as my witness
Survival
Across all spectrums
Is not easy
I watch from my own sphere
Fighting the same battle
A little further along
Bearing scars of the conflict
Feeling tentacles around my ankle
Now and again
But uncorrupted
Undamaged
I have taken to floating
Attaching to nothing
Yet
Embracing everything
A witness
Who will witness
Great things
I am certain
From This
Standing with resolve
In silence
With set jaw
Steady eyes
And of course
Breath-taking beauty
Scrawling the message
Across the morning sky
“I will not
Cannot
Compromise
My truth
My life
Or our world
Love,
This”
