I have come to the place prepared for me,
and I wait for you here
in the company of angels.

We’re going on an expedition you and I. We’re going into the wilderness n search of a child. It will be a difficult journey, but she’s worth it.

The whispering child
sitting in the darkness
holding tightly to all
the feelings
I need to feel.
