A Question
What if I
took a step
grasped your hand
walked to the edge
felt the wind
fling us out
into the abyss?
What if you
held on tight
walked beside me
clutched the air
gathered between us
breathed my breath
held your own?
What if we
embraced the fear
set it free
to wander the night
where it came from?
Could we start over
from there?
We live in separate worlds
together...
The last two lines thrust me into those moments where I look around and see people nailed to their digital quarantines, lost to the allure of a display while a whole human universe sits only across/next to them, awaiting the invitation to open themselves up to a world of infinite possibilities.
I especially like these lines, Carrie:
"What if we
embraced the fear
set it free
to wander the night
where it came from?"
Thank you for sharing.
