Arrival
we strain at the shackles
that hold us back
from breaking through
to a new paradigm,
to a new ordering
of the truth around us,
the truth we live with our daily bread,
today we saw the movie Arrival,
a brilliant rendering of who we are
by positing the arrival of the other,
I loved the power of the best within us to manifest,
and I know too well the worst within us that also can manifest,
I cry at how well it expressed, and captured,
the potential parent who loves who will come,
despite the potential transience of the moments
the dice will allow.
