Hold my hand
in this dark room.
I promise you, dear,
I won’t ever move.
I’ll say it now
though I said it then,
“Into my arms,
I’ll let you in.”
Could you take me out
of this dark room
and into the light
of something new?
I said it once,
and I’ll say it again,
“Into my heart,
I’ll let you in.”
I call your name
from the riverbed.
You flow through me.
This skin, I shed.
If I dance funny,
will you smile big?
And if I remove my shoes,
would you let me in?
I see now
who I am
so as to
love again.
I am now
who I am
so as to
begin again.

I’ll say it now

If I dance funny,
would you smile big?
And if I remove my shoes,
would you let me in?
I see now
who I am
so as to
understand
that as I drink the cup
and I look up… who?
