Those Who Cross Borders

those who cross borders above or below the radar gaze connecting here to there reminding us of all-ness bind the planet's wounds with footstep stitches scars of wars, past & present tears wash ashore hands begging to be held a little human kindness calls out for respite relief from dread the poverty of coin and bill signifying nothing in the end balance sheets burn in the cauldron of planetary fire now listen and give open your heart and hand these kids are heralds of Earth's new age for they see with two eyes here and there there and here... there is only the language of blood
