The tide's rising

Did you make it?

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

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

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

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

Did we make it?


Do you know it’s safe

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

A moat so shallow,

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

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


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

Stack more to the teetering tower,

let someone hold you

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

Let their hands trace the words on your back

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

Did you make it?


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

Did you make it?


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

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

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

Pulling yourself from the ashes again and again

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

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


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

the fight and flight

Don’t let them make you,

Clawing back the broken for the right remake it?

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


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
