Unravel

Here I remain

Tightly coiled in upon myself

Nurturing thoughts of times when

The promise of human comfort

Disappeared

With a contemptuous sneer

As I mirrored back to you

Feelings you would rather remained

Unseen

Why was it such a crime

To struggle

To have this much pain rolling around

Under cover

Only seeking a place to unravel?

Is it any wonder

I had to travel so so far away?

I hoped against hope

That the open horizon and sky could contain me

But still nature became at times

Just another lonely prison

So devoid of human warmth

Consolation and comfort

So bless you

The one who came

Offering me container

A place where the tightly bound and coiled up serpent

Of my needs, primal hungers and fears

Could unravel

Yes I know I still have

A long long way to travel

But as long as you are here

I can rest assured

There will always be a place

Where allowing

Can overcome

Fear
