to restore volume to muted voices
to release silent plugs from ears
to unfold tightly-gripped arms wrapped around individual universes
to cautiously but surely allow feet to touch land...
they're standing now...these babies...young and old
closer to-day-star-light-moon-beams-bright...pondering if...
to consider what's already prepared and available or...
to be disqualified by cowardliness
too smart for yesterday's distraction
too busy to be bothered today...
with eyes lowered...they couldn't see how love stepped forward
and how honest they stood still
