The tide's rising

Did you make it?

Do you hear it in the distance

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

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

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

Did we make it?


Do you know it’s safe

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

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

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,

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

Dig your heels deep

Let their hands trace the words on your back

Take that time to find your feet

Did you make it?


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

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

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!


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

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

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

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


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

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

Don’t let them make you,

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

Did you all make it?


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

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

Make it feel

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


you’ll wander and wonder

Did you make it

~~~~~~

I’m hopeful
