Like a gentle gossamer fog
This feeling of calm enveloped me
As I finally found .....the triumphant breeze
That gave me a sustaining breath
It was as if I came alive
For the very first time as feelings became realities
Soft carressing words soothingly validate
A worthiness I believed would always evade
Leaving me void and hollow as an empty glass
With only trace amounts of the taste I craved
As I died of thirst a thousand times
While drowning in the river of my dispair
Convinced I would be gone and forgotten
Washed away and out to sea
Without ever knowing the utter ecstasy
How it could feel to know someone  cares
About my life my hopes and  my dreams
Turning the raging river of my doubts
Into the calming flow from which your love
So gently streams.
