Uncover the striated complexity
Of the ethnically diverse
Like compressed layers
Of sediment
Accumulated by every person
Over the vast expanse
Of time carrying
Us forward
Where there is no playing field
But only discovering
Dovetailed links
One beginning
Do not espouse your perfection
But embrace all hearts
Open all doors
To differences
Skin colors bright as rainbows
Lifestyle only as life
All disabilities
Works of art
To those who hold disease
As angels upholding us
Giving us strength
To carry on
Strength is only in creation
Of those understanding
acceptance as grace
with eyes open
do not eschew sameness of all
but uniqueness of design
remembering beauty
of complex diversity
these are the coalesced wonders
bringing all life together
increments of being
pinpoints of light
