Day 5


see the called, the ones
who have chosen
the lines on their faces
the weariness in their eyes

the sense that each word
weighs more
that each expression
is deliberate

their countenance calculated
footfalls vigilant
taking resolute breaths

but it is not only this

if you can hold their gaze
(for they aim it well)
you will see light

if you chance on a
moment felicitous
you can watch them dance

joy is their birthright
