I opened my synonym book to a wonderful page that began with 'coalesce'. It's become a new favorite word. Also, I had to get a little nerdy and use some work vernacular...Also, fun fact, did you know that when heat above 600 degrees C is applied to titanium that it will ignite, and nothing can stop its burn?
Titanium
We are titanium
strong, unyielding
but it took us
through sponge
and weld fire,
white hot arc,
for us to coalesce.
It took us years
to find our elements
co-mingled, but now
together we forge
new patterns
tempered.
Our bodies burned
into the furnace
fire and pressure,
we ignite
as if our bodies
held starlight.
