Something Lets Us In

Something approaches
Closer
The air grows heavier
Without a sound

We don't speak it
But we feel it
Quiet never empty

And then it opens
Wide and unafraid

The sky unravels
After all we said
We stand inside
Where all have been
The noise dissolves
something lets us in

The sky lowers
Shadows lean inward
Pulse slows
Then waits

A flicker far off
Not light — just warning
Something approaches
Closer

And then it opens
Wide and unafraid

The sky unravels
After all we said
We stand inside
Where all have been
The noise dissolves
something lets us in

something lets us in

something lets us in
