"Come with Me"

"Come with Me"

Not a question and not a demand
But an invitation that cannot be refused
A gentle hand waiting to be taken
That leads into a once-feared place of dark

No resistance within
And a willingness to give up and follow
With a trust beyond words
Beyond knowing and emotion

It is an unconditional trust
With a promise of love and comfort
Of passion and healing
Within a now-adored place of light

Deep down and within
She is a goddess, who has been waiting
Yet she also stands directly in front
Expecting her hand to be taken right now

And once more she whispers,
"Come with me"
