Sparrows on the gate
forklifts plowing
chisel rock apartments
sounds of souls
black/old
white/feeble
deported/ untold
knocking rivers together
fears in our prayers
tears in our sleep
sojourn in skin
taste the prayers in the river
salt it out/melt out the colors of Ivory/Jasper/Jade
As long as it takes:
A garden to be born
A song to be merry
A love to keep
A sky to break
A soul to grow
~your Kindness sister Krissy Mosley
Really heart-provoking phrases! Nice share!

On the one hand we are all given “as long as it takes” — that’s what life is and, on the other, we are never given “as long as it takes” because that forces us to pass the responsibility on to the ones who follow us.
