You caught me in the ending time,

the perfect words tucked

--behind--

the lines, and I just breathed-

I didn't speak.

You caught me so off guard.

Amazing Grace?

When all was lost- even myself-

I seemed to find you.

When all was dark- my eyes

completely shut,

you are all I saw.

I stopped looking at the road,

not seeking landmarks to stow

my concrete flag upon.

I was spinning recklessly and

hydroplaning,

I noticed not the lakes in front of me.

I'd drown if I kept myself shut.

I'd drown if I opened myself back up.

And yet you,

you-out of reach,

I clung myself unto.
