Sideways (from the car window), June 2021 Dallas, Texas |
When the world tilts sideways
I hope you remember
how it feels to stand on the shoreline
with waves washing over your feet
and your eyes gazing to the distance
where sea meets the sky.
When the world tilts sideways
I hope you remember
how it feels to stand on the hillside
with rock firmly under your feet
and your eyes gazing to the distance
where treetops brush the sky.
When the world tilts sideways
I hope you remember
how it feels to be held by love
endless as the ocean, sure as the boulder
and your eyes rest from their gazing
because what you need most is right here
