Sink into my soul

and there take rest,

ye who are weary and

despairing of this world,

cruel and beautiful.

 

Sink in and have me whole

you who have suffered

or look for sweet refuge

but have found only pain.

 

Sink in and rest awhile

till the courage builds to

face up again and find your

way back to the place

of returning, to what remains.
