The tide's rising

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

Did we make it?


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

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

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

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

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

Dig your heels deep

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?


Has it all been mined? Did that rush last this time

Do you even mind?

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

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

does it ever end?

Did you make it?


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

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


you’ll wander and wonder

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

~~~~~~

I’m hopeful
