an invitation

i have a gift for you, accept it if you will

a place of full protection, a haven’s sanctuary

i can help you to recover, to shield you temporary

please join me in this place, rest healing for your grace

i have a nest for you, of mortar, wood, and straw

a soft and sheltered bed, for your broken fractured shell

re-calcify yourself, build protections hard and strong

stock yolk for sustenance, whites for recovery in your womb

i will place myself around you, keep you safe and warm

provide you food and shelter, protect you from the harm

you recover you inside, learn within your womb

rebuild your trust and confidence from distrustful tomb

break forth when you are ready, a chrysalis made free

developed unbound by pain, spirits butterfly foresee

go forward in this world, pray tell me of your art

share with me your dreams, recover liberated heart
