Chorus
By Erin C

In this chorus thrumming through you,
my/your voice is mine and yours.
Come closer (((come closer), closer), closer),
hear me now, in pain laced with deeper parts of being. What else
is a song, if not to tell you 'you are not lost?' Drink
of an echo born from within us, while
suspending ourselves through the song-
thread it deep, through your ribs, through the surface rips and fathoms,
fill it up, (((fill it up), it up), up) and be filled. The body of my/your voice
holds more than just our flesh and bones,
wears a path through the waves,
to bring our children home. Come closer;
bring them closer. Be all that they will be, swell our chorus to fill us up, with your voice that will feed (((all)of)us)
