We Are There

Tear through the skin of the night.
Do not say, I am alone.

We are there,
Right where you know,
Where we have promised to meet again.

Not here, in the darkness—
There, in the light.
Where we can see each other’s faces,
Hold each other’s hands,
Touch each other’s shoulders,
Side by side.

Cry out!
Break the walls of silence.
Do not say, No one is here.

We are there,
Voices joined as one.
Not here, in silence—
There.

Arm yourself—
With love,
With knowledge,
With hope.

Do not say, “My hands are empty”.

We are there,
Waiting for your arrival.
For victory,
For tomorrow.
