My Nakedness Has Made Me Whole

Leading up to the water’s edge Is a trail of my discarded clothes As I made myself a solemn pledge To the lady of the lake myself expose And embrace Mother Nature’s throes Free of the burdens that weigh me down Now scattered across the lakefront grounds I let the water consume my soul And in her embrace I have found My nakedness has made me whole
