I Take Refuge (Prompt)

Use the line, "I take refuge" in your poem/short story.

Recovery

The once-gentle turning
Of empty hands
Signaling trust
Now lift me
Holding and binding
My very bones
Dragging a worthless
Body

Until I can
Walk again
I take refuge
In the struggle

    Wow...this is an intense and insightful poem. I love that you made "body" the last word of the first stanza.
