Parallel Light

Parallel light. Shared rhythm.

---

before light / I rise
before light / you rise
shadow roads / breath on cold air
the city not yet itself
me moving through it
already thinking of you
before light / I rise
before light / you rise
we are two systems / morning-booted
running the same sequence
different shores
same dark
the sea between us
does not sleep
it carries
connection // ping //
proof of life
proof of love
before light / I rise
before light / you rise
I know your rhythms
the way your voice lifts
when you see me
the way the day
hasn't started
until it has
not mirrored / but aligned
not fused / but fused enough
we lead / we solve / we return
we ache / we sleep
and begin again
before light / I rise
before light / you rise
both burning
both bound
both crossing
toward the same
parallel light
