Memory of a Higher Order

IF nothing else
then let's be real,
open up and
say the deal
who we are
is nothing new
the same old me
and same old you
both vulnerable
and shaded heart,
prone to take
our lives apart.

On this shore
of friendliness,
we can find
a newness yet
that helps us both
not to forget
that who we are
is more than lost,
for being us
has had its cost.

Knowing then
that hearts
grow deep,
allow our souls
to always keep
an eye out for our
deepest prayer
that who we are
is kept with care.
