Your Nerve

If your nerve deny you,
Go above your nerve.
He can lean against the grave,
If he has no fear to swerve.

Thats a stedy posture,
never any bend.
Held those gentle arms,
the best a giant can mend.

If your soul should sea-saw,
Lift the flesh door.
The flame of love wants oxygen,
Yet nothing more...
