Sacrifice
This is how you save the world:
Right here.
The power to do it can be in the palm of your hand.
Just reach out with it, and touch my chest- right there.
Right over my heart.
Do you feel it?
The rhythm of my life, underneath the tips of your fingers?
Good.
Plunge them in.
The blood might not wash out, but keep going.
It’s getting more erratic, isn’t it?
The beat of my heart?
Go on.
Touch it.
Grab hold of it.
Squeeze your fingers around it and pull it free from the pasture I’ve kept it in all its life.
It’s right there, in the palm of your hand.
This is how you save the world.
And letting you?
That’s how I save the world.
