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?
Do you know it’s safe
That this castle is really just a type of prison held low
A moat so shallow,
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,
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?
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
~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~
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
does it ever end?
Did you make it?
~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~
the fight and flight
Don’t let them make you,
~~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~
Did you all make it?
~~~~ ~~ ~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~ ~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~ ~~~~~
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
you’ll wander and wonder
Did you make it
there?
I’m hopeful
