Ever-Present

Packed into chairs side by side
Funneled into this welcome glow
But in our minds we're riding waves
Freeing ourselves from the ordinary

We were passing through the field
In the expanse behind your house
I had figured at the time
This was all I'd ever need

Taking up arms against the snow
It's strange to be freezing, yet sweating
Impossible odds won't scare us off
Our power has yet to be realized

With our hands soaked to the bone
We are undeterred
I'm awash in light
As I stand beneath the power lines
In victory

Fabricated wilderness
An occasional stab at the quiet
A willful isolation
Partly wishing for permanence

A timid face across the room
With your name on full display
Gently guided towards happenstance
Like a sail hit by the wind
Vital moments taking shape
When I was seven
Didn't know it at the time, but
This was all I'd ever need...
