We strive or struggle
in this tempestuous atmosphere,
    mindful of words measured
     or immediate,
and whispered as intended.

Velocity and circumstance differ.
  Interpretation, introspection,
  the memories remain
    as we see
         this poetry we breathe.

Rhythm and patterns suggest
   scattered thoughts,
unparalleled emotions, and
    a decency to remind
  the heart to remember.
