Gatekeeper

by Meg Hutchinson

on The Living Side (2010)

When the day has grown too long, the hour's standing still
When you wonder if you could, if you will
With your toes upon the edge, with your eyes upon the sky
Tell me just these things before you fly

How are you feeling, what are your plans for tomorrow?
Will you let me make some, and after, you can do as you will

If your hand should lose the rail, your heel should lose the chord
Will everything seem fixable that did not before?
See how the sun shines on the bay, the islands over there
You could make it through today if you dare

How are you feeling, what are your plans for tomorrow?
Will you let me make some, and after, you can do as you will

Maybe every day in ordinary ways We hold each other on
We keep each other here
Maybe every day in ordinary ways We hold each other on
We keep each other here

How are you feeling?
What are your plans?
