we are walking
we are walking
and our cadence is elegant
our drumsong is the a cappella
of brethren heartsong
we are strong
and we are beautiful
and we know it now
we hold it close and breathe freely
listening to our music soar
we are observed
our jubilation envied,
even feared by some
still they sway and tap their feet
they do not understand
yet not one dares shun us
this is the flux, the flow, the future
hear our heartsong
for it will not be silenced
nor our footsteps halted
tomorrow was always here:
abiding, foreseeing
never forsaken
never uninterested
never belated nor sedated
just silent
just canny and brilliant and wise
we are walking
we are a symphony
we are a chorus
we are us:
venerably new
untried, yet unrestrained
we are us:
strong and beautiful
and you
yes, we are you
