You feel up ended
Sinking
Clenching your jaw
Your fists
Certain that the all of things
Are ending
—//
And what have we learned
What habits are tuning
What
Are we
Slowly becoming
—–//
I can’t ask for you to help me
And I won’t let you see me
And the world
We are certain
Is slowly burning
—-////
We sat by
While the planet suffered
And we said we had time
Now our attention
Is the product
They are selling
And we say we don’t suffer
But
—–/
Look how indifferent I am
And what agonies endure
Silently
Have I wasted your time?
Have I made sure
Certain
That you know
Just what you are?
And that you’re sacred?
—–///
Is there anything
More than this?
Being here
Just being here
Right now
With you
We look for the
Way out
The way through
All along
That alter
Has been
A private song
A souls light
Of just living
And living
Together
With you
—–///
You are sacred
As you are
Your light
Still shines
Even when you’re silent
You’re beauty still shows
Even when you feel like less
There is beauty in storms
There is light in
In the most overcast days
All of the things I love
I am reminded of
In you
