Hearts that thrive

I reach out
cause in my humanity
I can't survive
without reminding myself
that we`re all of the same tribe

I hold my breath
when stories born
out of lovelessness
try to tear me down

But then your attentive eyes
look at me with love
and prove to me
yet another time
that I'm not alone

In our humanity
I want to rest
because your story of resilience
allows me to feel blessed

I remind myself that
the only way to transform
lies in my ability
to make you feel that you belong

You belong to me
I belong to you
We belong to this stream of life
that never stops reminding us
that only through the art of loving
will our hearts thrive
