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
