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

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

A moat so shallow,

Your thoughts so deep they might pull you under

Did you make it?


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

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

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?

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!


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

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

does it ever end?

Did you make it?


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 slower

~~~~ ~~ ~~~~

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
