I can see your fear.
Clearer than coral reef water or new glass,
Still hot from the fires.
But hush.
There is no reason to cry.
I am here.
Hush.
I am here, and I do not want to leave you.
Hush.
You will move past this, you are strong.
Hush.
Stronger than you think.
Hush.
It will not last forever.
But in the meantime,
Hush.
Because there's no need to panic.
