Come
Come with your wax wings
sun-melted, your flight cut short
freedom’s moment lost
Come broken and all
from your fall off that high wall
gather your pieces
Come naked or clothed
disguised or in your face bold
no judgment behold
Come with song and sing
belt out that incantation
strum your salvation
Come with feet tapping
dance with shadows, tango
with your confidence
Come with battered hearts
let comfort’s arms enfold you
shield you from life’s pains
Come as you are now
riddled with holes that won’t mend
I’ve needles and thread
Come trailing blood, crawl
through barbed wire–take my hand
let me lead you home
Come, arms wide open
sunlight washes hurts away
come greet the new day
Come read what’s written
find the heart hidden in words
listen as love speaks
Sigh. Gorgeous words, Melinda.
