Live Now While We Are Here
And I can hear you speak when you
Press your lips together when
You can’t stop talking about the Sun.
It beats upon your back.
Come and I will take away
Your fears and tuck them
into my pocket.
Walk with me
Breathe my air
And we will see
The Universe continues
To unfold.
Warm and safe,
In the center of my palm,
Just for you to love.
