Walking through cold, tall gra** You held out your hand like a teacup turned skyward Palm lines mirrored the rise and fall of the land We imagined ourselves tiny in your hand Climbing the terrain of your soft skin Meanwhile, carried forward safely within One foot in front of the other, my darling Lift up your face so the sun can shine on it Frailty is a friend who makes you sleep 'til the morning

One foot in front of the other, my darling Lift up your face so the sun can shine on it Frailty is a friend who makes you sleep until the morning The valley is dry but a steady rain is coming
