medicine

onward

one human

times millions

among billions

of small thoughts

into big things

into great art

from even the bad parts

from a single thing

we are just these small pieces

sometimes we burn

for this thing we yearn

one at a time

all together

after the darkness

everyone wishes

hope rebounds into the light

to recover our grace

so some will do better 

and some will try harder

to find our desire

for all these better things

they will traverse the worst parts

to find our medicine

in very small doses

sometimes one at a time

one among billions

one thought among trillions 

it means nothing

dissecting life

unless you find something

you just get lost
