We Remember

Our hurts, our pain, 
our personality, 
our character 
tarnished with stain 

It is at sometime, 
through our lives 
we choose to remove? 
remain? repeat the same 

where does our strength come? 

through experience? 
trauma? 
lifetime of observation? 

what makes us decide 
who we choose to love 
to give our heart, to realize! 
...and from what, 
we will not abide, 

there is empowerment, 
a sense-a knowing, a belief 
without risk, nor doubt 

an understanding- 
with blessing 
an unwelcome feeling 
our love will standout 

our love will be tested 
...our love will see us through 

for love is divine...the divine is 
the feeling love leaves behind, 

our spirit carried through all times, 
through all injustice, 

a divine knowledge, 
our love, our belief 
our will not ruptured 

this spirited existence, 
survives-in our courage, 
in our strength, in our wisdom 
the light this sphere resides, 

this develops in our growth 
in our thinking, 
channel this essence wisely 
our love revolves entirely
