Door,
open.
Stars
shine.
Eyes open,
the world is mine.
Gravity
pulls.
Spine,
carry.
I carry the light.

Rope
holds.
Hands,
pull.
Hold the world,
together, up, down.
Wrapped around the earth,
like around my heart,
You hold my world together.
You,
gave me the light of the stars.
I
opened my eyes for you.

The world is full of important poeple, those who give you everything, and then those who make everything seem worthwhile. I would like to thank both of those people, and this is an ode to both types at once.
