One more song

How did you become

This secret song 

Afraid of it’s own melody 

What was this falling 

Out and apart 

That frayed your edges 

So far to blur 

you could no longer see

what was inside, out and in between 

How did you 

Make becoming 

A quiet prayer of forgetting 

Of slipping away into your own shadow

i am looking 

for that still place where the music waits 

for me, to breathe her into the morning

it is the only way iʻve ever known how to pray

i am looking 

for the woman i was

who once built a monument in the name of maybe

who was willing to fall for possibility 

i am looking 

listening 

waiting 

won’t you sit here with me

watch the notes bounce against the rafters

catch them in the corners of your mouth 

let them dance across your lips

with me 

won’t you

sit here

rest your breath against my palms

stay

stay

stay

just for one more song
