The 2018 Winter Olympics are officially underway in South Korea.
Olympics
the world waits
with baited
breath
as the tall
and tough
and miraculous
and strong
march together
linking arms
through the storm
of world events.
for two weeks
we cheer
we praise
we gasp
we marvel
and it doesn’t matter
which country
which flag
which person
takes the gold
because for this moment
we are all united
celebrating
humanity
celebrating each other
the miracle of personhood
revealed
shared delight
unveiled
