And against each other, at the same time.

What was that to me, I asked?
Thank my mom for all my past?

dares suggest wisdom's course
espouse prevalent societal force.*

Dad, how I love to recall
The days when I was very small,
On your lap, ear upon your chest,
Moments like these I loved the best.

Holidays with coastal walks,
Singing songs and having talks.
Shadow puppets on the wall.

Tenuous strings were pulled
lifting water bottles.

I've learned 
to be alone

Unresistable

Spirit of love
That's what I am
Nothing can lessen me
Nothing can diminish me

Only enrichen me
Therefore I tear down...
