Houston, Texas

a quiet, silenced courage
millions are entangled with prayers from the rest of the world
sincere prayers for the rest of this world, this broken world
millions are safe and unsafe
the ever so near relief is freeing 
voices of hope resonate
lights beam and burst with promising energy 
I can almost see the breaking of day 
rest. resilience.
happenstance. beauty.
and circumstance.
I can almost see daybreak and it's breath-taking
come in - Houston, Texas
come home
find your way back
to the quiet
to the sweet silence
to the exhilarating courage
