Beam Us Up
written by: Lynn White
Take my hand
hold it tight
we’ll stay
close
in the beam
of light
descending
and then you’ll beam us up
we’ll close our eyes
and make a wish
as we rise
and if we get what we wish for
we’ll feast
on the scarlet sins and secrets
we find
in the red light zone
and stay
as long as we wish
if we get what we wish for
we’ll be in the pink
of our vie en rose
on our slow way down
to the present
carefully
avoiding the dark hole
of the future
that we didn’t wish for.
