The words have taken a hiatus.
Oceans rolling under my skin
Waves of wounds undone within
And my boat is tossed on this sea
I have an idea...
And that's all that's left of me.
So please be patient as I trip and stumble
As I struggle to remember how I can communicate
I'm doing my best to be seen authentically
Without the crutches of my own insecure needs
But it's a fragile dance
And the wind will rip through these bones
But it's what I signed up for, right?
I see people as trees-
Every knot and bend
Where the sunlight couldn't quite reach to mend
And that's where we plant the seeds
...But you see, I can't give to you
What I don't do for myself
So every twist in character, every fault and flaw
Every crack in composure
Every battle scar
These things crash into my shores
And I'm nothing but sand
I have to love these things in myself
Before I can give you a hand
And I'm tired.
But I know I'm not weak
I made it this far on stitched up hopes and stubborn dreams
And I see you there, cracked smile and lighthouse eyes
We're not done yet, you and I
This is not for the faint of heart
But I think I knew that, as did you...
From the start.
We pick up our pieces and reach for the stars
Because something about them reminds us of who we are
And this world is madness, tearing at the seams
I feel I'm unraveling... do you see?
Threadbare and loose joints
Faded watercolors dripping from these words...
I'm tired.
Each day is another moment to stand back up and fight
And these wounds will heal
If we love them just right
So I'm calling out to the others
The Alchemists hiding in the wings
I see you, I feel you- little sparks of flame
The work isn't over
But I see the first whisper of Dawn
And I'm inviting you, if you'd like to come along
We're all bent and imperfect
Struggling to remember our Truth
But embracing ourselves, and each other,
I feel will help us break through.
