Pedestal (Dorsimbra)
To speak so clear in face of love’s demise,
will elevate the consciousness of one
‘til all will see the world so through her eyes
and so complete will counteract undone.
I set you higher
than I could ever reach
and I’ll probably hurt
myself trying
Though words are merely words, the precedent
is set for future days as simply this
unless I set you down, and find the strength
to speak so clear in face of love’s demise.
