we were born nameless
using words to create meaning
for what we cannot understand

so
if i run out of words
to string together and send you
i will create new meaning
from the things we see

i will swallow constellations of stars
shining for you to gaze at in the middle of the night
i will expose the mountain ranges, rivers, and hidden valleys of
my inner soul
i will allow you to be the captain weathering the sea of myself

come as a traveler carrying nothing
i will guide you
for when you carry another’s heart
as you know
it feels weightless
so let me guide you with more than words
