i am worn out
the world has drained me once again
and i have shut the door against it

but you
my morning Sun and Shield
are always welcomed

beyond my tattered window
the sky is drunk with blue
our blue
and the birds sing us a song
our song
and chirp the scripture for the day

it’s true
we are stuck together
You and i
like deep shades of blue
glued to this spacious sky
and we are in luck!
for no one in this world can separate us
