i carry your dawn soft in my chest where night once slept you slip in quiet a sun between ribs rooms remember color breath by breath your name a small wave on my wrist again again unafraid your hand in mine two rivers meeting flowing as one shores untouched i love you like roots love dark for the green that keeps rising let me hold your fragile morning when eyes first open and the world still chooses kindness no forever needed only this: when sky forgets blue we remember together hope is quiet it is your breath beside mine in half-light whispering your hand in mine two rivers meeting flowing as one shores untouched i love you like roots love dark for the green that keeps rising we are here we are here we are still here we are here… still here… your dawn in me…
