Skin of My Teeth
Just briefly I caught a fleeting glimpse of solace
Layered gentle, nestled between my worries and hunger
Like a child, it lie awaiting me with a warm longing, a smile
Alas, that moment nearly passed me by
Caught up in a daze, wrapped within silk chains that restrain me only if I allow it
Like a child, up to my knees in water yet it feels like I could drown
I, daringly, fled the scene
Escaping a world of egregious letdown
By the skin of my teeth
