The tide's receding

Did you make it?

Do you hear it in the distance

That breathing sine wave

Every drop that’s ever been

So close you can feel it in your lungs

Did we make it?


~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~

~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~ ~~~~ ~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~

~ ~~~~ ~~ ~~~~~~~~

Your thoughts so deep they might pull you under

Did you make it?


The glimmer of new only lasts as long as that of dew

Stack more to the teetering tower,

let someone hold you

Dig your heels deep

Let their hands trace the words on your back

~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~

Did you make it?


~~~~~~~ ~~ ~ ~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~

~~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~~


Has it all been mined? Did that rush last this time

Do you even mind?

~~~ ~~~~~ ~~ ~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~

do they mean less than the ones that are filled with suns and shallows

~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~


~~ ~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~ ~~ ~~~ ~~~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~

~~~~ ~~ ~~~~ ~~~~

~~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~~


~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~

the fight and flight

Don’t let them make you,

~~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~

~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~~


Make it from the old, from a time before sand was made to think

Make it slower

~~~~ ~~ ~~~~

~~~~ ~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~ ~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~ ~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~ ~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~ ~~ ~~~~~~~~


you’ll wander and wonder

Did you make it

~~~~~~

I’m hopeful
