For Olive - Kindling

Fearlessness:

And if there’s nothing past the sky, we’ll find a place

That’s still & soft & light as day

To be near

Our little hope, ephemeral, of a universe intact

All through the night, needles and pins, with the hope it’s all okay

If they found a cure, would it be too late?

I said your name to give you something beautiful & permanent

It may take forever, but we’ll try

Yeah, we’ll try

I know you’re around, know that you’re here.

Our universe intact

In windows at night, a light in the sky — All the places we can’t reach

With us before, you’re with us again

Might be a place outside where I can’t follow

A window closed, the view remains our whole life
