For the life you were born to claim
And the water will be paralyzed
By the courage you contain
And the flutter of your earnest heart
It will fill the silent seas"

some combination of the unknown,
but it doesn’t matter, i just know i need more.

We’re nothing less than a work in progress,
sacred text on post it notes.
down my arms, a thousand satellites
suddenly discover signs of life
The universe began with our eyes closed.

This brilliant light is brighter than we’ve known,
Without our darkness to prove it so.
Still, we can’t help but to examine it,
To add our question marks to periods.
