I Hope / Eve of a Dear Return

A follow up to Friend Across the Ocean.

They journeyed across an ocean
To pull themselves from another
Seeking their future self
Looking for a coast to climb ashore

Did they find a safe shoreline?
Was their heart calmed
And did they find their reason to be?

Did they learn to care for they
As they have cared for theirs?

I hope so

Did they keep that shard of rib safe?
Will they find their way back
Back to that place they’ll always have
Back to their hollow beneath my rib cage?

I hope so
