Escape

it's dangerous

how I strip

precarious how I dip

just one little toe

idiotic how I stay

others wear my fears away

but I should know

-this battle's been fought

true victory brought -

so why am I here?

someone greater draws near

post-battle sweat, helmet in hand

my Victor gives me this command,

'though temptation abounds, I remain

make your escape through me

crash through the curtain of my blood

there's always grace to flee*.'

it's reckless

how I strip

heedless how I dip

all of myself

perfection how I stay

as You wash all fear away

again I know
