The tide's receding
Did you make it?
~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~ ~~ ~~~ ~~~~~~~~
That breathing sine wave
Every drop that’s ever been
So close you can feel it in your lungs
Did we make it?
~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~
~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~ ~~~~ ~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~
A moat so shallow,
~~~~ ~~~~~~~~ ~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~
~~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~~
~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~ ~~~~ ~~ ~~~~ ~~ ~~~
~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~ ~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~
let someone hold you
Dig your heels deep
Let their hands trace the words on your back
Take that time to find your feet
~~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~~
~~~~~~~ ~~ ~ ~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~
Did you make it?
Has it all been mined? Did that rush last this time
~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~
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
We should make it!
Do you understand it? Do the whispers even matter anymore? Love over blood, over rules, over certainty
~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~
~~~~ ~~ ~~~~ ~~~~
~~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~~
Do you feel weary? Feel the push and pull
the fight and flight
Don’t let them make you,
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 slower
Make it feel
Make it balanced, understand, the storm in you was there to give rise to those who can’t be silenced
~~~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~~
~~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~
there?
I’m hopeful
