in trouble

wrapped in the worry
bubble

locked in
the sleeping bag
of you yourself

comes help
to reassure
to salve the sore
come words to save

whatever muddle
whatever harm may threat

what duress
within
here's wisdom

cling
to the witness
of this wing
this hinge
opening to light

in the fearful night

direction

in the featureless white
of the arctic journey
find yourself warm

through the wind's bite
seek companion
just out of sight

through the frozen waste
find face

in your fall

the rope

holding fast

in hope
in resolve
to solve

to find answer
as the dance
finds the dancer.
