Those moments touched The core of my heart Bringing back memories Marooned for long When rough waves battered The soul Swimming aimlessly Just to keep afloat Paddling frantically For years Losing hope and strength To carry on Then a shudder ran down my spine Woke me up That touch, once again Memories came rushing back The hand that held me Saved me From turbulent waters Felt the fresh air again Filling me with hope Your touch was buoyant Now days are brighter A thirsty soul Feels rejuvenated again
