The tide's rising

Did you make it?

Do you hear it in the distance

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

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

So close you can feel it in your lungs

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


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

That this castle is really just a type of prison held low

A moat so shallow,

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

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

Let their hands trace the words on your back

Take that time to find your feet

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


Nothing is a mistake. There’s no win and no fail. There is only make.

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


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

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

The walks we take are framed in 1’s and 0’s

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

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


Do you understand it? Do the whispers even matter anymore? Love over blood, over rules, over certainty

Pulling yourself from the ashes again and again

does it ever end?

Did you make it?


Do you feel weary? Feel the push and pull

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

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

Clawing back the broken for the right remake it?

Did you all make it?


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

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

Make it feel

Make it balanced, understand, the storm in you was there to give rise to those who can’t be silenced


you’ll wander and wonder

Did you make it

~~~~~~
