Yes
Yes it is
I don't think you understand
The power that you hold in your hands
As calming as the setting sun
Or watching silent rain drops run
It's like the sound of boiling water
Or the smell of eucalyptus
It's like the taste of hot glüg on Christmas
It's slowly stirring cream into your coffee
It's wrapping a wooden spoon in melted toffee
It's like a clock running in slow motion
Like a spirit in the ocean
Like a bubble in the sky
Like a couple walking by
Like a breath of fresh air
Like being caught unawares
Like a hug after a jump scare
Like the vacation you never got
Like the love you always sought
Like your toes in warm sand
Like hot tea in Japan
And I wish that you could see
All that I know you could be
And I wish that you could feel
All the people that you heal
And perhaps one day you will
And perhaps one day I will
Perhaps one day I'll chill
And get off this wheel
And it'll be myself I heal
When I'm ready to feel
When I'm ready to heal
When I'm ready to focus on what's real
When I'm ready
When I'm
When
I'm
Ready
You're okay
