Together

Together we float like clouds, we’re the desert waves. Together we break silence, we speak in tongues and we sleep in. Sleep in, my child, for the storm will catch us soon, for chaos will break loose. Break even, go back home. Close my eyes and teach me to feel pain the way you do. Teach me words nobody speaks, teach me love, teach me to fly and fly with me. Fly with me and look ahead, the future makes me sick, but the past scares me to death. Why weren’t you there? Did you ever think of the suffering I suffer when I’m blind? When we stare and just stay mute? When birds long for tomorrow but the storm forces them retreat? Together we float like clouds, we’re birds without wings, but don’t fear, my lover, we’ll recover, we’ll make it home, we’ll rest forever. Together.
