Trigger Warning
Let it dance with you
Don’t go from
Port to port
Sit down
And see yourself
Eye to eye
What’s really needed
And what not so much?
You have touched the gold pillar,
The shiny mountain,
You have the
Ocean at your finger tip
Now put your hand on
That one speck of breath which
You need to live
Possibly it is right here
The moment that is passing by
Let it dance with you
The moment is all you have!
