Not Yet Done
I am the story they haven't told
The song we shouldn't sing
The game you forgot to play
I am the walk that's still to be had
The drink yet to be imbibed
The meal still to be cooked
I am the man hiding in a boy
The woman silenced as a girl
The children now scattered and lost
In this fire pit I still smoke
A glowing ember
Not out yet
Still smouldering
Promising
A flame yet to blaze
Yet still I may become
The rainbow after the storm
The handshake that stops the fight
A hope, possibly
Even a heartfelt embrace
A burning honesty
Open enough at last
For this continuing truth
