Work Text:
Comfort of softness and fluff surrounds
Sleepy smiles and morning music sounds
"Hello, friend", greets the day.
Beatific smiles abound
All we've been through
All we've seen
All we've realised
A stretching of limbs, after eventual rest
A reward after battles of a lifetime
Suddenly awake
People need to know
My message
My call from the other side
My understanding
My language to speak direct to their broken hearts, left crumbled and ready to pour out, for better or for worse
It doesn't have to be like this
He bites back tears
Droplets to a page
Wanting no war to wage
Wanting to soothe their rage
Inviting his heart to the stage
Speak now, my love
You've been here too
Tell them for me, what they need to do
He leans into its arms
Softened and safe
And falls back to sleep
Having fought for an age
Clarity his trophy
Relief in his veins
It'll be okay now
It'll all be okay
I love you.
