I’m in the palm of your hand
I’m the sinew holding your soul
I helped build a harbor around your heart
I never left you even all these years apart
I have been your unconditional gift, and
your biggest fan
Hanging on your life’s soliloquy
the audience you command
The aperture sees the reality of the place we always meet, not just in memory,
Not just a dream, it’s real, it’s solid as concrete.
We help each other stand,
and encourage flight
Nothing we can’t face with that kind of light.
