What I believe in...

They search for 
meaning
I long for
inclusion

they reach out
seeking
to understand my 
seclusion

words used as
hooks
barbed by
memories

family 
and friends
offer vague
pleasantries

we all live
daily
connected and 
dreaming

some of a
heaven
this present
redeeming

others make
living
the greatest
achievement

no lingering
fear
of death or
estrangement

lines drawn 
in sand
ideas
beliefs
theories

hearts bound
by hand
traditions
faiths
memories

we all share
this time
together
this breath

our tables
our laughs
our moments
before death

this notion
of god
this absence
of deity

neither
removes
our whimsical
frailty

fill gaps of
the mind
fill depths of
the heart

the path we must
find
together
not apart

where faith
must
end

where beliefs
must
cease

where ideas
must
mend

where humanity
must
release

the grip on
the mind
the guilt of
the heart

shared values
to find
shared wisdom
impart

history to
show
our destiny
reveal

our resolve
to understand
our world
to heal

we go it 

alone
each moment
decide

reach out
hold back
encourage
deride

today I 
choose
to include
to love

all others
not like me
inspired
from above

each day
life is full
precious
fleeting

will you
love too
while your heart
is still 

beating?
