Anthem

Your quiet eyes glare into a
cosmos, a vacuum space that is
everything

Your heartbeats resonate through
the atmosphere, adjoining a
thousand others’

Your feet and hands are worn, but
they are in command of many skills
that others did not dare to know

Alone against the quiet world,

Unaccompanied, entangled in this maze,

Each of us sings,

Singing our anthem to our soul.
