If you ask where we’ll reach out
If you ask - who - we’ll find you
If you ask when we can begin!
Let those bystanders
fear
Tomorrow’s daunting gaze
you, my friend - live - unchained, from regret
breath to blink
and
step to year,
feel
your
strain
loosening
from deep within
choose to survive
become
someone’s: helping hand
shoulder to shoulder - trusting - in each other...
