Night demons
Night's fingertips prise open the cracks in my heart.
In the blackness nobody sees the red droplets spring up,
and the tears run down.
In the morning it has been resurfaced.
You don't know.
Would you care if you did?
In the blackness nobody sees the red droplets spring up,
and the tears run down.
In the morning it has been resurfaced.
You don't know.
Would you care if you did?

Nature finds a way
Together but apart.
Worlds broken and mended.
Stitched together with gold.
Rising defiantly from the wreckage,
like weeds growing through concrete.
Nature finds a way.
Worlds broken and mended.
Stitched together with gold.
Rising defiantly from the wreckage,
like weeds growing through concrete.
Nature finds a way.

Beneath the surface
Ripples on calm water. Sunlight glinting. Reflections shimmering. Birds singing.
Deep under water, the fight rages on. Neither fish giving in.
Both in pain.
Exhausted.
Blood infusing the water,
like smoke curling into the air.
But nobody can see.
Why not swim away?
Deep under water, the fight rages on. Neither fish giving in.
Both in pain.
Exhausted.
Blood infusing the water,
like smoke curling into the air.
But nobody can see.
Why not swim away?

Holding on
The rope is long this week.
Your hands are on the other end.
Pulling gently so I know you're there.
I need to hold on tight.
The wind is blowing, the rain is lashing. Don't let go.
I don't want to be swept away.
It's dark, cold and frightening out here.
I can see the glow of the sun rising over there.
Where the storm has passed and stillness is spreading.
It's where I want to be.
Your hands are on the other end.
Pulling gently so I know you're there.
I need to hold on tight.
The wind is blowing, the rain is lashing. Don't let go.
I don't want to be swept away.
It's dark, cold and frightening out here.
I can see the glow of the sun rising over there.
Where the storm has passed and stillness is spreading.
It's where I want to be.

At sea
The sea comes in. The sea goes out.
I breathe out. I breathe in.
You are still there, patiently waiting on the beach.
I am floating just off shore.
I lost one of my oars and am flailing around with the other one.
I look up and see you bleeding.
I know I have to get to you.
The oar is not going to work.
I let it drop into the water.
Swimming panics me.
I slip into the cold water.
My breath catches. My eyes sting.
I start to swim.
I'm not getting very far, I'm doing it wrong.
I look up. You are slowly bandaging...
I breathe out. I breathe in.
You are still there, patiently waiting on the beach.
I am floating just off shore.
I lost one of my oars and am flailing around with the other one.
I look up and see you bleeding.
I know I have to get to you.
The oar is not going to work.
I let it drop into the water.
Swimming panics me.
I slip into the cold water.
My breath catches. My eyes sting.
I start to swim.
I'm not getting very far, I'm doing it wrong.
I look up. You are slowly bandaging...
