time is a savior

   in srch of a favor
lookin to take ya fr all that yr wrth
   & you a retainer
   trained w/ the sabers
     of self & surrender
   water & war
     took to the meaning
   like ice to a river
   crawling over
         the edge
        & sunk under
   swiftly away
in the cold of the flow
   into the after
   breathe yrself free
