“Above Water”
completed on 9.19.24
like a kite
I feel you lift me
but when you’re breeze fades
i come crashing down
sometimes into a tree
where i can cut myself free
sometimes to the ground
where i can be found
but now i’m sinking underwater
swimming back to you for air
i watch every bubble float away
like moments that can’t ever repeat
waves crashing over me
sinking deeper into the sea
but you’re my life raft
always saving me like witchcraft
like a fish out of water
i’m fighting for air
but you pick me up
saving me time and again
sometimes i’m drowning
but you remind me everything’s ok
your light shines through the darkness
helping me find home
everything’s brighter with you
nothing’s ever felt so true
