The tide's rising

Did you make it?

Do you hear it in the distance

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

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

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

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

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?


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

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

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

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

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

~~~~ ~~ ~~~~

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

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

there?

I’m hopeful
