Come.

Come up.
See.
From depths
I have created thee.
I tucked in
secrets to find
beneath your folds
and aging lines,

and

between your creaks
and cracks
you can hear the song
I taught you once.

Come up.
Listen.
With breath I have
created thee.
I imparted to you
Cool, fresh,
invigorating moments
of spirit

and

dreams,
to propel you
through heated wakings
in a fractured world.

Come up.
Know.
With love I have saved thee.
Mercy, even for stained–
Embraces, even for rejectors–
Renewal, even for the dead.
These are free to those, who come,
see, listen, know.
