(Give and) Take

Take your tenderness 
and bury it deep, 
for now is the time 
your fire is needed. 
Take your boldness, 
your coffee-black nerves, 
take your bravery, 
your fearless leaps 
into dark waters, 
your white-knuckle fists 
against the storms of uncertainty, 
take your wild eyes 
and your knowing stare, 
and shake your head 
with smirking lips 
at all you were afraid to be.
