Smaller than dust on this map, lies the greatest thing we have
The dirt in which our roots may grow, and the right to call it home

I dig till my shovel tells a secret, swear to the earth that I will keep it
Brush off the dirt, and let my change of heart occur

I leaned in and let it hurt, and let my body feel the dirt
When I break pattern, I break ground, I rebuild when I break down

We were amateurs at war, strangers to suffering
We made our families proud, but scared at the same time

I guess space and time, takes violent things, angry things
And makes them kind

I am desperate, if nothing else
In a holding pattern, to find myself

Rows of houses, sound asleep
Only streetlights, notice me

The night sky once ruled my imagination
Now I turn the dials with careful calculation

Time moves slow, when half of your heart has yet to come home
Every minute's adding up, and leaving a mark on us

No one can unring this bell
Unsound this alarm, unbreak my heart new

With golden string, our universe was clothed in light
Pulling at the seams, our once barren world now brims with life

So we found our way back home, let our cuts and bruises heal
While a brand-new war began, one that no one else could feel

While collecting the stars, I connected the dots
I don't know who I am, but now I know who I'm not

Fault lines tremble underneath my glass house
But I put it out of my mind, long enough to call it courage

I watch for signals, for a clue
How to feel different, how to feel new

Pitch black, pale blue
There was a stained-glass, variation of the truth

With shortness of breath, you explained the infinite
And how rare and beautiful it is to even exist

You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.

FTF at 3:32 p.m. I initially came to look for this one this morning before work but failed to make the find. Thank goodness Dave was available after work to come look also. Despite battling shingles in one eye he managed to make this tough find. So grateful! It's a delightful puzzle and challenging hide. Gets a favorite!!
