Rafted

Taking up slack
Where perhaps there should be tension
In connection
Hook in eye

Fixing sights on candid
Settling for confused with robust peaks
Winning in streaks
Pay attention

Joining rank and file
Never felt so good
Attaching metal to wood
Sealing leaks

Believing in something bigger
Like big brother big sister
Or fire twisters
Misunderstood

When this world comes crashing
Nice to say I held hands
Took a stand
Steady drifter

In complete silence
We ask ourselves the motives
Blow out the votives
And remain stranded
