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
~~~ ~~ ~~~~ ~~~
~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~
~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~ ~~~~ ~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~
A moat so shallow,
~~~~ ~~~~~~~~ ~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~
Did you make it?
~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~ ~~~~ ~~ ~~~~ ~~ ~~~
Stack more to the teetering tower,
let someone hold you
~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~
~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~ ~~ ~~~~ ~~~~
~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~
~~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~~
Nothing is a mistake. There’s no win and no fail. There is only make.
~~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~~
Has it all been mined? Did that rush last this time
Do you even mind?
The walks we take are framed in 1’s and 0’s
~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~~~~
We should make it!
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
the fight and flight
~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~
Clawing back the broken for the right remake it?
Did you all make it?
~~~~ ~~ ~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~ ~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~ ~~~~~
Make it slower
~~~~ ~~ ~~~~
~~~~ ~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~ ~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~ ~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~ ~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~ ~~ ~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~~
~~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~
~~~~~~
I’m hopeful
