Gratitude

Our rent is always rising
and wages are always falling
Libraries are always closing
While the rich get richer

There's no truth in speeches
No meaning in headlines
No beauty in a tweet.

Businesses are always stealing
Moments are always fleeting
Power is always corrupting
While the mercury rises.

There's no truth in images
No meaning in words
No beauty in concrete

But it's your hand I'm holding
And there's freedom in dreaming
Its your smile I'm seeing
When I'm waking, first thing.

There's truth in our heatbeats
There's meaning in our breathing
There's beauty in these silences
That come to visit, now and then.
