Never Alone

Audio Version | Backing music: Kyndir by Gabríel Ólafs
Long ago
I threw my heart
Into the ocean
Then decades later
Found it floating
Among the stars

Woke
To find beauty
And devastation
Sleeping side by side
In a bed of white roses

Cried
Til the tears dissolved
Every fibre of wood
In the ring fences
Containing my joy

Watched
Someone destroy
The only soul
They ever really
Cared to love

Hoped
For a place
Where hate
Could dance
All night
With love
Til it surrendered
Its form
And became the sun

Played
Piano songs
Atop mountains
Til creatures whose
Voices had never been heard
Wandered out of forests
And valleys
Singing

Found
My sadness
Sitting quietly
Bathed in sunlight
Forever knowing
It will never be alone
