I will let you in to my requiem with this...
"In a past life I was a mermaid,
who fell in love with an ancient mariner.
I pulled him into the sea to be my husband.
I didn't know he couldn't breathe underwater..."
Do not drown , Breathe above the swirling waters...
They will not pull you down,
your Refuge is here,
speak and you will be listened to.
after all, what is refuge,
but a place where you are comfortable in the knowledge
that nothing that is uttered or thought will be held against you...
That is what is being offered...
We are free spirits, let yourself flow and ebb, open...
let the groaning metal around your chest find solace.
