Here I am Cloaked in grief Seething with hopelessness and anger Sadness and despair
I whisper in my own ear Be the light Find a match and a still corner Cultivate the flame Feel the warmth grow stronger and spread
We need an attitude adjustment We need to open our eyes The people around us are our brothers and sisters We are all struggling And so alone
Reach out with your fingertips See if you can touch me through the electric blue screen that holds your eyes
I am cold, but we can be warm together If we just get under the same blanket And share our secrets
You are invited to dinner at my house Anytime you want I’ll give you everything I have And I will show you something beautiful Look in the mirror
Give me a pen And I will tell you a story That travels up your arm It’s the story of your home next to mine And how we hold onto each other So we will not be swept out to sea
These moments where you are warm next to my fire That’s the purpose of my life To make you feel welcome and safe To show you that you are loved and beautiful And to know that there is enough For all of us
If we don’t share There is too much waste So let’s eat our abundance And go to sleep Full of love Warm and safe And never lovely
