Human Complexion

What is the human complexion Much more than color of skin Fragile, fierce and nuanced A reflection from within A million moving pieces Catalyzed by everything Creating combinations Tied up like a ball of string How to learn, accept and grow How to understand The complex in complexion Of our wondrous fellow man

A good outlook on humans, Mike. Even when our "ball of string" begins to come unraveled, we can rewind them with patience and help.
