The LionessCome to me.Come to me like the river s roar, like ravens at the morning s door.There s no knock;no bronzed lion to pound and wake, just yawning dawns; the lush daybreaksopeninglike sunrise. I, your troubadourwill sing across your kitchen floor;enough warmthto stay the dark; to overtakeeach fear, each tear the wicked makeslip your cheeks.Let my arms be your sacred shore;may loneness haunt you nevermore.I, the flawed, give you my sovereign heart to take each bounty, glory, each mistakeforgiven;clasping hands through destiny s door.Let us be fearless. Let us roar."
