earnest.

stand with me on the outskirts of terranea watch the waves mount higher and higher like the passion of a crowd, crying out at indignation watch the moon get brighter let's sing the crescendo con anima let's mean every word write poetry along my veins spell conviction with your soul i want your toes to dance sincerity and i want mine to know the same rhythm walk two steps into the shore line and hold my hand let's let our socks turn heavy with water and our feet sink into the sand they say "grow where you're planted" we'll show them how to grow under waves stand with your back straight follow my eyes down the anciently paved roads across letters stamped with dust i stretch out my hand with the intention of holding what is there whatever scars and dirty fingernails im searching for a pulse your pulse im counting breaths for our turn to jump swim kick out your feet and grab water like stone don't wait for me we are both moving across the same line follow the stream of the moon know that we both reflect too you, me and i, you we have forgotten fear we have made bridges with ideas we have sang choruses in harmony stand with me on the outskirts of terranea in space that you can not see anymore we will be there together make your feet sore with walking we are both going to the same places.
