POEM
*Diamond Memories*
A flight of bird
Swarm of locust
hold up the sky
clamoring love
Despite the differences
Togetherness is beautiful
illness comes wellness
Alone is a drip
unity form an ocean
of diamond memories
strengths drenched in love
is power
where sovereignty emerges
United heart, mind
sacrifice the differences
choirs many voices
left a soloists
