The Way To Salvation Is Just a Breath Away

wanton in disarray
i hug myself in the gray
the smell of rain 
beyond my gaze
my dreams were pain
i woke in sweat
i got away
maybe not next
this carries me
as i lay thirsty
I take no shame
keep your mercy
i drink this wine
turns me numb
a gift of grapes
the charms the same
not to some
keep your praise
said the wolf
to the crane
