You are a storm A fire A shatter in the dark Ripples on the surface Crack
Light surrounds the tunnel Of every future yet. Darkness fossilizes What I would soon forget. A child I would dip my hands

Light surrounds the tunnel Of every future yet Darkness fossilizes What I would soon forget. I look into the future
It has been said that you should Dance like no one’s watching— I always dance like you are Seeing me Across the room
