embrace

your attention please

Give me your attention, attention, please
Today I am alone, yes thank you, pity me please
Though, with patience, there’s another side
That’s what this is for

I shall become see-through
I shall be witnessed
My thirst quenched before you
My one-and-all audience

I am here for the magic
For you to see
What cannot be
And if that isn’t truth—

So, give me your attention
Attention, please
For today, I am alone—yes, thank you
For searching with me

If it’s not yet clear, I have rules for deserving you
Only you can say and see
You are free to leave the room
But please know
Your grace is like the wind to me
I feel the warmth of your light
So I shall choose to be
Deserving enough to find the words
So listen gently

Your attention
Your attention, please
Today we find ourselves a world away
Yes, thank you—for feeling with me
In this knee-deep-in-god, darkly twinkling place
If you find yourself here, I’m sure you feel it too
There’s another side to this
And that’s who you choose

You are to me see through
You are to me witnessed
Naked because you may choose to be
And for you, I am a presence—or something
Thank you for you being here with me

For today, I am alone
I can only choose when I am worthy enough for your presence
And now is as good a time as any
So let us crumble beneath my pretense
And take stock of what remains

Your attention
Attention please
Welcome to the other side
To this place
This is space
Where truth is that inside
Dark matter who twirls
You are that to me
Yes, you are that to me

Today I am alone with you
And you are alone with me
Thank you for the dance
You may now return to your destiny
