we as humans know the price of separation
we know the pain and fear when you do not know the truth
when we do not tell the truth.
we know the anxiety that comes from isolation,
because in the space between people comes the noise and confusion
when there is a gap between souls a fog fills it and we don't know
what each other means and we don't know if they love us or not
division leads to fear, loneliness, isolation, pain, and jealousy.
a person standing alone is a lone pillar buffeted by wind in the desert
buried by sand and scorched by the screaming heat,
a person standing alone is a man trying to swim in the sea
during a hurricane, waves choking and crashing around him
a person standing alone is a person standing on a cliff,
wild animals growling behind them, they have to run, they are
looking out into a smoky abyss but they don't know how far they have to jump
to make it to the other side.
We must learn to brave the gap, to take that leap of faith
even if it's scary (and it is) to trust someone, we must.
We must love one another or die.
The greater the gap, the greater the fear, the harder it is to bridge it-
that's why when we are unafraid, our souls clamp together
(we are unafraid because our souls clamp together and
our souls clamp together because we are unafraid-
these truths are not causal, they are necessary of each other.)
we know what happens when we let ourselves be vulnerable
when we wake someone up to simply lay in bed with us
and you know that even if they don't understand, they care,
and for a second we are together with God, (this is true unity) but we are just
two people holding each other and I can feel my pulse slowing down
I can feel my heart calming and my skin cool because
now, at last, someone is with me, they are close, I feel safe,
I am no longer alone. I am no longer alone.
