When river and rainfall ran dry
I looked for you
hoping
and held my moment
a lifetime too long
in your door
Ten hurricanes raged at the land
tearing apart all that I understand
I bent my head forward
and leaned in the wind
to follow you
I would go with you
beyond the line
when your light fails
I will bear mine
Steady now
don’t flinch
not going to lie
this
is going
to pinch
Steady now
don’t fly
I am by your side
The quiet skies fill us with dread
for what they may bring
and when your courage fails
I’ll have my armor on
Take my hand
Like sea glass we’ll weather the waves
inching us forward
until the bright day
we’ll filter the sunlight
in colorful rays
Old made new
