Hold Us Up


Bass lines never lie.
Heavenly bodies know,
Heavenly tones don’t go undetected
Though they often go unheard.

Forget bowing your ear to listen, though,
You’ll simply never hear.
Just close your eyes to see
It’s all happening right here.

Right there, so close…
Just don’t reach
Or you’ll never touch.

Such elusive frequencies,
Why must we know so much?
Can’t we feel our way through?
Isn’t it easier to bounce?

We’re just floating anyways.

Such blessed tones
All's light in all,
Effervescent to the touch
Yet heavy enough to somehow hold us up.
