MY ESCAPE
by Amy Miller
In this wild-scape
Trapped by my fear
My heart heaves
A sigh of damp air
Bring me to the surface
Let me see the light
Otherwise I’ll be caught down here
In my own fight
What do you see
Across the sea
A land of salvation
why can’t it be me
Hear my name
See thy face
Hidden beneath
my own disgrace
Bring me to the surface
Let me see the light
Otherwise I’ll be caught down here
In my own fight
Beauty is deep
Caught up in the folds
Trying to escape
The traps and the cold
What is the answer
A knowing to unfold
To gather me up
And embrace me like gold
A heart that cracks open
And pain to wring out
A wish to come back
And see myself whole
Bring me to the surface
Let me see the light
Otherwise I’ll be caught down here
In my own fight
