I have collections of sounds and melodies that scream through the heart

A ripping chord through which a voice is heard

Bare witness to my soul and share with me

In all the things no one thought could be shared

Every thorn endured and every stride we take

Are in hopes our thoughts live forever

In those who love us dearly and who we cherish in the moment

A moment that could last a lifetime full of compassion and hope

Memories that scream

I was once here and I lived as much as I could

In this breath

I choose to share and to suffer and to give all I have

to those around me to show them that

Every thorn, every stride, every road taken

Lead to a sense of community that needs to rebuild it's capacity to empathize

I have collections of sounds and melodies that scream through the heart

A ripping chord through which a voice is heard

A voice inside that echoes through my mind and my life

Reminding me that we strive to find

That special thing that makes life worth living

A connection
