lead me through
the clinging mud
pulling me under
caking onto my ankles and feet
like earthy tortoise shells
plodding along
steps so sure
feet so focused
eyes bent over backwards
must watch each step
a misstep would be fatal
if I miss a step i'm forgotten
so drag me if you must
across skies of raging dust
wrench my heart apart
unscrew the bolts or
or just shatter it
it shouldn't be too hard
i'm more fragile than you think
i'm only strong with you
so help me now
help me now
in my paradox of self
wanting to unlock
but not knowing how
so break through
crash just crash into
me and i promise i won't
crash too
as long as you
stay
and give me life again
again
and breathe into me
life because you
are life and this strife that i've magnified
is nothing
nothing
in your Majesty.
