Prayer

Hold my hand.
Do not let go, even when fleshrippers scar my skin
Show me the unseen air that lifts the great bald eagles
Show me the sea otter that rises from the void below
Tell me about the beauty I have inside of me

Tell me that though all is turmoil, love is constant
Tell me to ignore the siren song of Silence
though her red lips I would kiss, her peace is empty

Tell me that though we walk through the valley of death
we will fear no evil
for you are with me
Do not let go.
