Calm before the storm
Eternal moments in hours
A divine course in young love
Mastery of the truths we grew up on
Launched like a ship from the harbor
Into once chartered waters; redesigned
Forever on the back of freedom
A pilgrim searching out new consciousness
A new state of mind, shared with brothers
Sisters of the same womb, a generation of artists
Pulse beating and strong like the gongs of the east
With traditions thrown together and patched, worked
Into a seamless blanket of warmth of the human soul
Consoling each individual entity in ways that lost before
Until the coming of another gathering, where each was only
Another friend in disguise, strangers are known by shrewdness
Brotherhood, known by the elements that compose it, together
Altogether found, like broken mirrors reflecting upon the ground.
