Follow me

Through terrain

Through words rumbling on the underside of my heels

Through wreckage

I can walk on tiptoes before you and promise a world where we will float

but if you see this to be worth nothing more than fatigue, turn back

I'm different than I was when I met you

I'm different than I'll be in a year

I'm straining my body to make this ground move

and if you can't see that all of this sand was once a boulder

than you'll never be able to see that I was once something else too

Follow me closer and closer to the sun

To the glowing piece of completion

so when we reach that which signifies life

and blooming flowers and glistening streams

and the heat crawls up our necks to our lips and warms these shoulders

we'll burn up happily, and never feel cold again
