aerial view

i look down
at the stars
because they
can only wonder
at me
at what i do
without a line of sight
on the future

contrast

if the sun
shone darkness
and the status quo
were night
if everything
were hidden
would we be silhouettes of light?

susceptible

be fragile
if the power
to be strong
has left you

be vulnerable
if the vigilance
to be on guard
has fallen

be exposed
for what you are
to what might be
until you’re free
