late, winter light

folds the air, fills my eyes

there against the sky

i call on faith with arms stretched high



and would you know how much i love you?

would you feel the way that i do?

if i told you all the things that move my soul

and while the world is turning darkly

would you still be the earth beneath me?

if i tell you everything, would i be sure?



down the path we’re on

we cannot turn,

we cannot run

here, we share our wounds

how we embrace what we become
