A flicker of light was all it took,
A breath of air flooding your skin,
All to make you feel alive again.

It’s okay,
It’s a long way down.
Just take hold,
Close your eyes,
And we’ll fly to the ground.

The shadows aren’t scary anymore.
Welcoming you into their lair.
Just shapes drifting across the floor,
What an incandescent pair.

Look at the moon!
See how it glows with a bright red light.
Swelling the sea up to meet it.
It must be one of those nights,
When souls are claimed,

By the killing tide.
