Set the time

Wait, just a bit longer.

Wait, just a moment before
you take your all
and throw it at the feet
of a promise that the future brings.

Wait, just for a little amount of time,
watch the tides bring victory even closer,
sit in peace,
on the shore,
don’t cross over

Not yet

Respect this liminal space

Soak your feet when you can swim,
hold your breath, even if it’s easy to breathe

Set the time for crossing over
Take the time to become intoxicated, then sober

Make the effort to clear the sky,
separate the clouds
so the Sun can shine

On these eyes, no longer blind
