Family of Living Light



This family reunion is a cascading sigh

of hearts that have felt homesick

for so long;

a melting pot of long-suppressed

“thank you”s and “I love you”s

bubbling out of every crack

in any façade.

The gathering of the nobodies into somebody's -

an accidental grin shatters our masks of apathy,

our common goofiness proving stronger

than our stranger-ness.


All day the sun shines and

we are the people

who wait for each other

and share the last drop of water.

At night, under the stars

we are the people

who hold hands and pray to the fire,

dancing and swooning to

The beat of the drums –

the deep heartbeat of this

flash-flood utopic civilization.

We sing to the dawn in celebration

of this beautiful confirmation:

humanity’s sweetness.
