So bright

So present

a veil protecting us

This shield

which could be oppressive

humidity clinging

to every cell

But this promise is dry

clear-cut

to the point

We know the expectations

which bind us

to one another

Light was brought

to the darkness

Safety overpowered cruelty

Here is a place

we can rest

without threat or pressure

I lay down my head

and dream of the stars

so close to the sun
