If you understand life,
if you know how to live,
then you don’t swerve—
not toward this side or that.
Because once you reach for one,
you welcome the end,
and invite the other.
They’re twins,
born of the same silence.
You don’t live in extremes.
You live in the lane between—
in the space
where things don’t scream,
they hum.
In all its colors,
we walk,
each our own path.
No blood in the soil.
No suffering in our stories.
No chaos in the air.
No enemies at the gate.
Just friends,
living like we remember how.
With kindness.
With dignity.
With the quiet courage
to let others be free.
We share this place—
a patch of earth,
a moment in time—
with peace,
rights,
justice,
equality.
Together.
Not as strangers,
not as tribes,
but as children
playing
in our own backyard
garden.
