Come In
I feared my face would be too thin
my hair the same and where to begin
on all the flaws that do reside
apparently deep, deep, deep inside
this bony frame, this craggy husk
this leathery hide, approaching dusk
so near the nadir than the start,
but instead I find within your heart
a sea of human hopefulness
and that magic word; acceptance
that fills you with serenity
and beckons through your smile to me
come in, the water's safe and warm,
come in and leave behind the storms
we'll swim across this sea as one,
together, towards our setting sun
come in.....
