Peace It Together Poem by Faith Wood

It’s been three long days of endless rain
And I’m tired of the drops
Fogging up my vision-
A vision of hope and nights smiling effortlessly
And this is where I check all rationality at the door.

If we just peace it all together now,
Our footprints might lead the way
Someday, I hope to bring the change,
Drop it like bombs from an airplane
Be the first, but not the only one.

Every sigh we breathe is the reminder of a task unfinished
Every breath we take is the reassurance to get it done
I know you’re far from subtle,
But maybe we can set aside
So let’s shake- a promise kept in our hands.

With a future so limitless, a way can be marked
And we are the ones to set the first brick
In stone, this is not,
But we’re not even remotely close
This puzzle we have is missing a peace too many.
