Released

I will caress your skin and ease the tension from your brow

              ...Float serenely upon my back as I cradle your desires

Slowly you unlock your chained heart from the miseries of your world

              You are released from your despair as gently as a mothers' touch

I pictured a man releasing all of his tension, for he knew he was now safe.
