I was the rotten wood
Which water lifers used as food
Water determined where I stood
Would’ve fled if I could
But I had not the power
On the water, you shouted
In your fuming loudest
“Do you wish to be the haunted?”
He went in his slowest
And you picked me up
Your soothing balm,
Your seeing me as the palm,
Makes me recite the happy chapters of Psalms
I will always run to your arms
My lover, friend and saviour.
