Amongst Children

Amongst children

We knew

All the paths were constantly diverging

We had a window of chance

And we mourned the lost

Heavily, with tears,

And then moved on

In a never ending life

Going up into the sky

Doused in the eternal light

All around us

With all our cares

And dreams

And fears

In the muscle fibers

Of the air

Tied up close

Enmeshed naturally

Into our personalities

Through which we cried

And we were loud

We fought

We smiled

We laughed

We kicked

We cursed

And heaven still opened up
