Re-Story This Life

by Christiane Pelmas Re-story this life with its cracks and flaws re-word fear and hatred with rhyme

No matter how dark cast just enough light to honor the lineage line

Whose choice was this to conjure up shame to see truth as an evil to slay

Without truth of the bone or song of the blood each one of us looses our way

Allow harmonies to weave through these islands of men whose ancestors once shared prayers with the sea

Allow grandeur and anguish to have room on this stage until all that is caged flies free
