You were my cool water.
You soothed my soles,
After you watched me walk the coals.
Of nails and tacks,
Sizzling hot pavers,
Or eggshells and glass, I’ve been no stranger.
I do my own stunts,
And I shall continue.
It just felt nice dipping my toes in you.
As I focused on you.
It guided me to
A place of rest where I could be new.
I know as I attempt
Another pass through the fire,
The callous will reform without my cool water.
