peace.
i am fully known.
safe,
no hiding place,
i am naked
on the plains of mercy.

the waters
drench my skin
a deluge,
every drop
unearned.
the dryness of my heart:
saturated
I'm soaked to the core.
love rains upon my heavy soul.

laughter,
a smile breaks free
from the rusty shakles,
and I am beyond words.
