Take this silver lining
Keep it in
Your own
Sweet hands
She hums a lullaby
We are lucky
To see the stars
Through the houses
And the windows
The light
Makes her skin glow
Her being vibrate
She is alive
And if she is alive
So am I
How curious we think
To have suffered
So many falls
But still find our way out
Now our days
Are quiet
We count our blessings
Put them in a row
They shine
Like votive candles
We take a deep breath
Halfway between night
And day
The silver lining is
That we are here
That we can sing
And savour our words
As long as we have words
Everything will be fine
She smiles
And I smile back at her.
