There are heart-shaped crevices in the world
where people like us exist,
tucked away in a corner of our minds,
the world is so incomparable,
the world is so fleeting,
the world is so What we make of it.
We are tall because we are large,
we are large because we love,
we are love because we exist.
The sunrise is brighter today—
the yellow-orange of the smiles and good food,
the purple-blue of the comforting hugs and imagination,
the pink-white of the flushed cheeks and freedom—
just because we say so.
