Years have gone by.
Creases have kissed the surface of the skin.
Softly.
Each small creek is a sadness.
All of the rivers speak my truth's.
I extend my hand.
Yours are deeper.
Even deeper than the Congo River.
What do you want to say?
What can I say?
We share the same blood.
And when we look at each other
in the mirror of time.
Two faces, One Look.
Our silence will be heard.
More than words we've never had the courage to speak.
And you'll tell me silently
that there's no such thing as pain that's wasted,
It only grows roots deep inside.
And it becomes light —
Light that cleans all we suffered.

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"
