I started to recognize a piece of myself in their story.
The nomadic wandering in cold darkness,
the whisper of intimacy with a knowing smile,
and the restraint to withstand what must be done.
With each step, I collect each of these pieces,
slowly weaving a collage of kaleidoscope
to guide those who may find themselves wandering
as I have been in those times.
