I bare my soul and yet ... before you
I know
That I am safe
(photograph by Wendy Morrison Metcalfe)
Though the winds of winter howl and cut
Though hungry animals within and without prowl and hunt
I know
That I am safe
Though my hands, feet, and mind grow cold and numb
Though I willingly placed myself beyond the light of the sun
I know
That I am safe
Though thoughts that circle, whisper words unkind
Though winter tears blind
Warm sister love kisses upon them
Encourage me to see again
And I know
That I am safe
Thank you
