a caking of ice
sat atop the water trough
earlier on to-day

God, are you there?

Can you hear my call?

God, do you care?

Do you care at all?


I know You said You'd always be

The guiding light in front of me

But lately, I've been flying blind

Too scared to even look behind


God, do you see me here?

Can you feel my need?

God, are you ever near?

You're never close, it seems.


God, I know you said you'd be

Always here right next to me

But I am human, this I know

My infant faith, it just slowly grows.


God, if you're there

Can you keep me safe?

And God, if you care

Can you ease my daily pain?

Wake me slowly with wondering hands and aching need, that is all I ask. Sunlight may peek through drapes and blush at our waking if she will.
Lift me from crumpled sheets, warm and waiting, soft and willing.
Kiss every word on my skin, wind your fingers in my hair and dance with me to changing rhythms as morning fades.
Make me scream your name as the wild takes over. Base instinct rules as sanity dips and senses fill. Leave polite evolution at the door, we have no need of it now, we are our purest form in this moment, connected only by swollen desire, trembling now, I cling to myself as the levee breaks.

Backporch swing keeping time
whiskey yours, tequila mine,
scented buds brings better days
as sweet Father John Misty plays.

I am lost.
Yet,
Something is telling me you are just like me.
Maybe
We were put in the darkness
To find each other.
