High five

Heather Lydia Thornhill

Free verse
Lead my arm
High high high
Tell my soul
Rise rise rise
Pulse my hand
Love love love
Raise above
Look look look
Smile open love
Laugh laugh laugh
Brotherhood of man
Oh yes oh yes oh yes
Glide on your knees
Plea plea plea
Clause of truth
Share share share
This high five life
Call call call
out my name
Fly fly fly
Whatever makes you you

    Your poem exudes a sense of empowerment and positivity, urging the reader to embrace love, laughter, and the essence of brotherhood. It's filled with uplifting energy and a call to be true to oneself. The repetition of words like "love," "rise," and "fly" creates a rhythmic and motivational tone. It's a beautiful expression of encouragement and self-discovery.
