Aloe

We heal when pain leaves

We grow when watered well

We live in dwellings

of peace and comfort 

whenever able and unscattered 

..and we always matter. 

 

yet what defines our character, 

our trustworthiness

our love 

bears no resemblance to physical property 

 

Anger, desperation, and various coping agents 

cannot disintegrate will power 

and warm hoping agents

when the latter

is what gathers

enveloping lavender lather

on dusty dander

along famished

cherished

porcelain skin

 

allow the aloe

to work from within 

and light every moody lantern

soothing our rooted sins

"we always matter"

Yes, we do.  "warm hoping agents" - excellently well posited. "soothing" sin is a dense with meaning and emotion line. One we can each live by. Bravo write. This us a perfect poem. Be safe. ~S~
