Pressed against the ocean, swelling like the tide
A woman shrugs her shoulder, turns it off to the side
A thousand words between the echoes inside
Her belly, where he buried his goodbyes
There’s a million ways to go on, she knows,
Not one realistic
Those moments I’ve seen, superimposed and idealistic
“But I’ve got them with me still,
And if they do not kill me they will find a way.
Yes they must find a way to stay.”
Every color, every smile is magical
The dreams of a newborn child, so malleable
We could learn a thing or two by looking at you
Vivid like the falling leaves, the first time, in a child’s eyes
We open an old log to squeal like the bugs
They’re just a family torn up like us
“I’ll bring you to the water when you’re older, my daughter
I will tell you all about him when you’ve grown.
Though a thousand times an hour, I use words that came from him
And there is nowhere I would rather be than lost within his chin
But you’ll find every treasure he gave you locked deep within
Your gentle heart, graceful smile, quiet eyes and soft skin”
Every motion, every night, is magical
The dreams of a newborn child, intangible
“I can still find you, oh I’m looking at you:
You are everywhere I see,
most particularly in this child’s eyes”
Sleep softly, like a baby
Sleep softly and when I come home
You will know who I am
