#rescuer - Hello Poetry

You saved me yesterday When the rolling clouds were dark The wind, like a hurricane, Was whipping through my heart It was beating just as loud as the thunder over head All i felt was dread The ground shook with emotion While i tried to hold it in But my mind felt like exploding from the pain that i was in Then you, stranger, walked on by And took me by surprise Grabbed my hand, pulled me up, looked into my eyes All you said was 'hi' And i felt that could breathe My heart, though it stayed racing Stopped pounding in my sleep Angry clouds above me Started to evaporate The walls that surrounded me Began to dissipate And though the world was shining Once again renewed I couldn't take my eyes off of the beauty that was you

Yesterday

You saved me yesterday When the rolling clouds were dark The wind, like a hurricane, Was whipping through my heart It was beating just as loud as the thunder over head All i felt was dread The ground shook with emotion While i tried to hold it in But my mind felt like exploding from the pain that i was in Then you, stranger, walked on by And took me by surprise Grabbed my hand, pulled me up, looked into my eyes All you said was 'hi' And i felt that could breathe My heart, though it stayed racing Stopped pounding in my sleep Angry clouds above me Started to evaporate The walls that surrounded me Began to dissipate And though the world was shining Once again renewed I couldn't take my eyes off of the beauty that was you

All is dark except I see These extended arms in front of me They are waving, trembling I barely have the sight to see These open hands in front of me They are reaching, searching I hardly have the light to see These stretching fingers in front of me They are straining, grasping As I watch, how strangely familiar I find These arms, these hands, these fingers What could fill them That would still them? As I look, I realize that they’re mine these arms, these hands, these fingers What could hold them That would console them? In this darkness, am I the only one who sees The struggle in front of me? It is desperate, helpless All is numb except I feel This empty space inside of me It is widening, deepening I only have the sense to feel This growing hunger inside of me It is pressing, aching My nerves are acute just to feel This enduring famine inside of me It is agonizing, deadly This pain worsens with the sight of These arms, these hands, these fingers What would occupy them That would satisfy them? I am feeling exhausted by the fight of These arms, these hands, these fingers What could nourish me That would flourish me In this void, am I the only one aware Of the pain inside of me? I am in anguish, pleading Through the darkness, I finally see Two different hands reaching out to me They are calloused, scarred Closing this void, I begin to feel Such merciful love consuming me It is boundless, overflowing I find new life the moment I take These hands that defeated death for me It is abundant, eternal The fullest joy He freely offers with His arms, His hands, His fingers His love fills me Peace stills me His gentleness holds me Grace consoles me To this joy I’ll always cling with My arms, my hands, my fingers His presence occupies me Truth satisfies me His word nourishes me Hope flourishes me In those depths, why was I so unaware Of Him standing right in front of me He is my stronghold, Deliverer

And just when I could no longer live with the life I had chosen, when I had lost all hope and disappointed so many people... Just then you came and you saved me from myself.

Perfect timing.

And just when I could no longer live with the life I had chosen, when I had lost all hope and disappointed so many people... Just then you came and you saved me from myself.
