Reclaimed

Patience and grace
There will be good days
And when there aren’t
Your thoughts will make your hands
Make things that make others take a stand
But until then, please hold my hand
And remember
This too shall be reclaimed
It all starts with the weed between the paves
Roots and time will move concrete and iron
And ivy and water will loosen any mortar
All that man has built will crumble down to silt
And all of this will again be green space
This too shall be reclaimed
Fearless and brave
Spaces should feel safe
And when they don’t
Your mind will make your feet
Make paths that play your distinctive beat
But until then please sit by me
And remember
This too shall be reclaimed
It all starts with the weed between the paves
Roots and time will move concrete and iron
And ivy and water will loosen any mortar
And all that man has built will crumble down to silt
And all of this will again be green space
This too shall be reclaimed
This too shall be reclaimed
