Marked In the Blood of Peace

With my blood 
in peace
I smear my mark,
fingertips 
tentatively stroke,
nothing is in vain,
beneath plasma
ever faint
eternal streams of
hope and faith


Never regretting,
but ever forgetting
forgiveness with love
in hand 
reconnect the circle,
what started history’s past
now,
cannot remember 
to regret


Reaching 
to touch mysteries,
the future 
has yet to forget,
it flamed
out of reach
in the wonders 
yet to come,
and given 
the gift of patience, 
in a time that forgot
to breathe


A steady heartbeat echos
aching to inhale
