The Divine

My feet feel their way
Along the rocky river bottom
Arms balancing
Waist bending
Ankles slipping, twisting,
Toes gripping on algae-covered stones
And maneuvering 
Through ice-cold hell
Hell 
Hell 
Hell

Until you.
A warm tuft of grass and clover
Soft and green
Ankles burning with warmth
Love
Salvation.
