You came in the flood like a bedraggled spirit Chattering Shivering And soaked through your skin. You offered me nothing Spoke only drowned words. You lay at my feet Barren. Wasted. But never did you beg shelter from me. I took you in and washed you dry I clothed you in skin And wrapped you in arms. I murmured to you with buttoned lips Sung words with my heart beat And the thrum of my soul. Through the silence We grew In the mist of the rain and the tumult, Stoic and humble We twined limb by limb. Upwards. Forwards. It is only together that we mend. To perish, to flourish. All the same in the end.
