New writing
Take me to the river
Drop me in the water
Let the lapping of the current
Wash my cares away
Lead me through the city
Through mist filled streets
Let the sharp edge of winter
Cut the fear from my skin
Wrap me in the darkness
Cocoon me from the sun
Let silence give me shelter
From the pounding in my head
Hold me through the spasms
Wipe away my tears
Say you’ll still be with me
When I surface once again
Take me from my comforts
Force my soul to feel
Let me drink in the moonlight
And remember what is real
Bring me to the water’s edge
Barefoot and alone
Stripped and pared back to the core
From here let me return
