The Great Similarity

We 

     Contain multitudes,

     Infinite differences

     And variations; it is

Our

      Great similarity,

      Sparkling under the sun

      That is the lungs of

Our

      Moments and minutes and months

      And multitudes

      That blossom with every

      Breath we take

      As we continue to choose to lift

Ourselves,

      Diamonds perfectly cut 

      by our struggles,

      Scratched messily

      By our dreams,

      To the light we are drawn to

      In the hearts and souls of others,

      Where we find the facets of

      Our humanity and hope and love

      Shining the brightest and

      Blooming into shattered mirrors

      All reflecting

                         Stars like wildflowers

                         In our eyes,

                         Resilience like poetry

                         In our veins,

                         Multitudes like the highways

                         Between our hearts,

                         Like the sun, like

Us.
