Feb 2014
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 ***** 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.
