Beacons

I wonder what it would be like
if we could relinquish our shame
remove this cloud and remember the sound
of our holy collective name
if we were able to see clearly
my map and your key
would the path then be open
unfolding before us
battle free
I wonder if in accepting
that we truly are enough
our past of scars are not who we are
if it would open us up to love
knowing that the darkness
that we have both seen
is equal to the light
that we are able to bring
remembering we are beacons
beacons of light and love
you and me
