To Walk This Earth By Jaden How

invisible strings 
tie us together— 
strangers, friends, 
lovers, mothers— 
oh, to wonder. 

we all stumble, 
twist, and fall, 
dance, shake, 
bend, and break, 
until dawn calls. 

laugh and sing, child, 
step forth, witness— 
walk this Earth; 
your presence, 
yours to keep.
