A Beautiful War

3

You are something real,

Something to touch.

You are the earth below me,

To keep me grounded when life is too much.

You are a lighthouse,

When I'm too close to dangerous shores.

You are a beacon,

To tell me where I need to be.

You are the home for me to return to

And the water deep underground.

You are a reminder

That if I jump I will not fall,

That if I ever need

You'll come running to me.

A compass for when I am lost,

A light when I cannot see,

Medicine when my mind ails me,

A boat so I can cross the seas.

I always know where I can find you,

My head,

My heart,

And in between ≈
