Into one

Pink and white,
Smooth and faintly clear,
Shimmering,
Leadership and life,
Freedom from tyranny,
Equality,
Huts on the sandy beach,
To keep the beast at bay,
To keep the fire burning,
In hearts weary from trying to stay alive,
A shrill piercing blast,
Yet a healing one,
Pulling on the loose threads and making them into one,
A community,
A family,
Hunter or hut builder,
Littlun or fire maintainer,
One and the same.
