You Take Me

Your mighty grasp gripped my tiny hand
pulled me from the storm into warmth where flames flickered forms
dancing shadows played like restless children on the walls
hand in hand a peaceful language spoke
wisps of contemplation bent my brow
and I rose in an exhalation of a life work
the vulnerability of my trembling hand shook
and you strengthened me with vision 
and I could see you in my fear beckoning
come to me, unto me, come to me, come

The ocean curled beneath 
renewing my tears with a salty mist
the sunlight lifted my drooping head 
bowed in prayer deep and faithful
a mysterious cloak of unknown province draped my shoulders
underneath the newness of penetrating quiet a butterfly lifted
and as delicate as these wings may be 
the earth's gravity had no bearing 
though on many things gravity did weigh, but not unto me.
