Knitted fingers

I wrote this for a friend. She just found out she has Cancer.

Knitted fingers

It's dark.

We know. We see you.

It is light where we are.

Reach out your hand.

Knit your fingers with ours.

Here, is where it is safe.

 

It's dark.

We know. We see you.

The sun is shining where we are.

Squeeze our hands tighter.

Knit your fingers with ours.
We will pull you towards the light.

 

It's dark.

We know. We see you.

You can breathe where we are.

Give us your weight.
Knit your fingers with ours.

Don't let go.

 

It's dark.

We know. We see you.
You can be fragile where we are.
Trust us.

Knit your fingers with ours.
Let us carry you.

*** 

It's no longer dark.

We know. We see you.

You are safe now.

Open your eyes, breathe deeply.

Knit your fingers with ours.
You are in the light.
