Cover up those scabby knees
scratch away pesty fleas
held at arm's length
ready for new strengths
embrace other cultures
modified wings in vultures
holiday goers wave these aboard ocean cruisers
dejected lovers drag around on decks of losers
In impatience folded
shook briskly when scolded,
used together with tools invented
tossed in the air with emotions vented
arms there join us to kin folk
or keep us away, in light strokes....

If only we could all use our arms to embrace, rather than hold weapons to destroy each other.  Very deep write, and much meaning that I appreciated.  

Open the door and let your adventure begin!!!
