a great divide

between you and me there is nothing

inhaled exhaled gases dead skin

yet i struggle to bridge the divide

if you could but see past my face

with all the water under the bridge

for a moment close your eyes

hope

believe that we can touch fingers

with no plexiglass to bar the way

lay down all the carefully fashioned

weapons of mass discord

find instead harmony and love

where no walls divide us

sing

sometimes it flickers in you

behind your eyes i glimpse

you too long to stop the lies

deconstruct the barbed borders

step into my world as i

walk gracefully in yours

believe
