No More Mire

by Morning Song

I found you

your feet in the mire

stuck, awaiting to be free

I lifted a hand to help you up

you took it willingly

and now you are free

to be what you want to be

to be what you can be

without the mire

now sand at your feet

together we add lime

to build a foundation

throw in some seashells

for calcification

to make it stronger

as our love should be

The words pale when I say to you

I've waited a lifetime or two

Before I've run but no more

I stop and await you

when you are ready

you will come

Together we build the foundation

we will see what tomorrow will bring

We will stand the test of time

We Will

We will be together

my love

my sweet, tender love
