reconciliation

truth stands naked

vulnerable and alone

shaking, shuddering

searching for home

our breath sometimes shallow

words caught in our throat

fumbles and missteps

a part of the road

our humanity before us

letting go of the past

embracing a future

where only love lasts

good hearts and good minds

will shine the light

for those who stand tall

and take up the fight

lift up your sister

together we are strong

because if we try

we can do no wrong

For Dave and Velvet

secret nights

for the weirdos

come in from the storm

forget it all

no responsibility

no accountability

just ecstasy and rhythm

and the world goes away

just me and you now

flowing melodies

folding dreams

take me with you

into your secret world

lead me into your garden

of snowdrops and curls

time is endless

tell the old lady i crashed

and dance here with you

while we play and get smashed
