Come Find Me

Come find me.

Come find me in the labyrinth of my mind,

Look for me in the empire of my dreams.

I suggest you call out with all your heart,

With your teeth gritted against the shattering silence

That answers every bellow that you beat out to me.

Come find me as I twist through light and shade,

As my form bends like a young branch

In a midnight gale,

In a summer storm,

In an afternoon breath of sunshine soaked breeze.

This strange valley lightens when I finally hear your voice

The brightness creeps in

And I look past the dancing boughs,

The creeping vines, fresh and festive;

The veil of fragrance shifts—

You rescue me from thought.

Just beyond my precipice

A sheer drop awaits.

But you pull me back before

My weight shifts,

My mind slips

And I fall.

Come find me.

Come rescue me.

Come,

Elevate me.
