EverlastingWaves

I hope this will be over,
that all the anger
will finally end.

I hope that people can open their eyes
and see that we are not all that different
just because of something on the outside.

I hope that people can realize

I've forgotten that the sky is blue
which some say should be hard
and yet
look up.

I've forgotten that rain is not black
that it falls in a straight line
but now
it twists with the wind and is black as night

      My hands brush against the dead grass, something once so green now unrecognizable. The sky is black with smoke, though there are no clouds. I pull up my mask slightly, trying to stop ash from getting inside.

On September 18th, 2020, Ruth Bader Ginsburg passed away. One of the three women on the Supreme Court, she fought for Women's Rights. In memory of her, I found 9 of her quotes that may ring true for all of us.

Weaving words
Is not an easy task
They must align perfectly
To come out well

The finished product
Is always different
Than the last

Today, it is soft and silky
Flowing and ending in harmony
