Through the storm my pulse transmits Me and my cat the signal that fits World burns down yet a soft light sits Pain hums low while the love commits Car broke down horizon steel Rain kept time on the spinning wheel I breathed slow let the truth reveal Each Short Circuit learns to heal Metal in motion my steps grow thin Every limp hides a lesson within Noise shaped calm from the chaos and din Found small warmth where storms begin I don’t need much, just breath, just real A steady heart I can sense and feel Life leans heavy till edges peel Still sparks rise from what cold conceals Through the storm my pulse transmits Me and my cat the signal that fits Cut the line still the bond commits Hope hums low through the static’s hiss Built small faith on cracked glass gleam Half chance, half grace, half waking dream Never chased gold or a crowd’s regime Listened close to the space between Guitar or game same patient play Lose, relearn, reshape the day Each wrong note finds truth its way Mistakes hum songs that words can’t say Maybe strong is the tender kind When wires fray and maps unwind When the signal fades I still find A hum that whispers we’re aligned He first found me a tuxedo blur Left my brother’s arms came purring sure Tiny tremor, no overture Two strays tuned to the same allure Splash went missing one thunder noon Echoed his name through an old brass tune Didn’t ask fate, just followed the moon Love leaves trails that remember soon I marked the wind with threads of me Torn cloth ghosts on the willow tree Each pale flag breathed memory A path called home through debris Three days gone, then a soft mew near Through rain wet grass his shape came clear Static fell quiet, the hum rang sheer Proof that faith can engineer Fifteen years the clock hums low His whiskers silver his heartbeat slow I watch him dream in the firelight’s glow Time smooths edges it can’t let go So when the noise swells or the dark leans proud I breathe through static drift from the crowd The signal holds past the weathered cloud Two hearts humming small but loud Through the storm my pulse transmits Me and my cat the signal that fits Static may rise yet the ember sits Love hums steady we exist in bits
