The rescue
My severed starved soul
sought solace within your eyes
When my broken bloodied heart
had banished hope from too many lies
My culled but courageous cries
reached out for your hands to save
Your voice, tone and warmth
taught me to love, to fight, to be brave
Fear vanished from my eyes
As you wove through my pain
with your soul
I was reborn, rebuilt, reclaimed
I am yours, you are mine
We are whole.
