to stand tall in my light
and instead you used them
to run away from me

O David, my singing brother
O David, my singing brother
aflame with canticles in the night
fingers burning for the strings
an unseen hand etching paeans of fire on your heart
and you, barely breathing on your bed,
wide-eyed, seeing everything
even in the dark

for love is a doorway which,
when open, lets everything in

they are sisters, soothing with both hands

is the sincere desire
to put healing over pain

because it focuses on fullness;
all else focuses on lack

Strength
You could respond with
cynicism
rage
loathing
disgust
or fear
but ultimately
compassion is the strongest
