Yesterday
the rain poured...
tear-thickened sheets of despair
drowning me in the sorrow
of a shattered dream.
Through the onslaught, you held me,
lent me strength and comfort,
fortified my resolve,
rebuilding my world,
embracing me in your sun,
and I basked in the warmth
of your caressing rays.
Today
I begin each day smiling...
awakening to a husky voice,
your throaty growl tickling my ear.
You infuse my spirit with your essence,
your optimism rushing through me,
lifting me in your breeze,
untethering my wings,
setting me free to fly.
Unafraid, I soar
high, high into your skies
knowing you won't let me fall.
Tomorrow
will be greeted joyously...
with open arms and bouyant heart,
for I am a better me
for having been touched
by the truth and gentility of you.
My shadows fade into your light,
as each drawn breath whispers
of renewed hopes and dreams.
Sweet slumber gathers us close
singing a lullaby of forever,
as we lay blanketed in love.
