Walk me to a field
with a rope to the sky,
show me how to climb
but don’t question why.
Rest me on a beach
with shells rising from the sea,
show me how they pirouette
whilst balancing on a breeze.
Guard me in a storm
with a cloud that never lands,
show me how to hold
their wisdom in one hand.
Take me to a mountain
with one leap to its crown,
show me why they fear
being near the touch of ground.
Walk me to my home
whisper your last goodbye,
I’ll show you how you’ve given me wings
but don’t question why.
