You move across the quiet earth like weather made of light With blossoms resting in your hair and morning by your side The heavy rooms I lived inside grew windows at your name And all the dark I could not lose went trembling into change What I had carried down like stone rose weightless in your eyes Take my hand uncover the sky Show me the road hidden in plain sight You never asked tomorrow to be more than a door The day was always deep enough to ask for nothing more You wore the hour like fields of gold and never called it brief You found the wild inside the dust the mercy in the leaves Where I saw endings in the ground you heard the roots begin And all my little paper fears grew bright and light and thin What I had named a vanished world came breathing back through you Take my hand uncover the sky Show me the road hidden in plain sight You never asked tomorrow to be more than a door The day was always deep enough to ask for nothing more Teach me the language of your step the laughter in your flame Teach me the hidden pulse of things before they had a name Let every shuttered part of me break open in the sun And let the life I could not feel come running back at once Take my hand uncover the sky Show me the road hidden in plain sight You never asked tomorrow to be more than a door The day was always deep enough to ask for nothing more The day stands still Bright and light and thin Take my hand uncover the sky
