Enough

from the sidewalk I set out
though the traffic lights are against me now
with my umbrella outside-in
I try to bless the rain and lean into the wind
and just say,
oh, weather, i am still enough for you
i am still enough for you
i am still enough for you to sink those lonely teeth into

staring down an empty stage
with a cold guitar and a clean white page
i remember how to write my name
try to hold the joy, and translate the pain
and just say
melody, i am still enough for you
i am still enough for you
i am still enough for you to sink those lonely teeth into

in these moments i reach out
for a hand to hold, for a little light
in the evenings i hold on
to the words you wrote, on that coldest night
when you said
oh, brother, i am still enough for you
i am still enough for you
i am still enough for you to sink those lonely teeth into
