Ashley River

The Ashley River is a blackwater and tidal river in South Carolina, rising from the Wassamassaw and Great Cypress Swamps in western Berkeley County. It consolidates its main channel about five miles west of Summerville, widening into a tidal estuary just south of Fort Dorchester.

Perfection will kill you
As you wash your shadow clean
As you fix yourself into archetypes it feels safe to be

Perfection will kill you
As you turn away from what is messy
As you blame and shame what is heavy

When it's really just the love that longs to teach you
To let go of what burdens your truth
That which longs to be viewed

Perfection will kill you
As you turn away from those who are too full
Of rage and passion and pain and grief
Of darkness of madness
Of mystery

And perfection will eat your heart
And heavy your mind
As you forget that compassion is what saves you
From your own limiting binds

Your obsession with perfection
Your fear of losing control
Made me mad and paralyzed
As I tried to match what you deem as whole

I wish I told you your fear of being seen is making you unable to be free
I wish I told you to let go instead of letting myself blame me
And I wish I called you into divine order
Instead of letting you order me
But I wish I knew that what we had wasn't that deep
If into me you couldn't see
