Touch My Soul

Touch my soul,
sweep away
the tears
that flow
from the wellspring
of my life.

Take this heart
step by step,
teach it
to love again,
to be warm,
to be whole.

Take my hand,
guide me
through the darkness,
show me
there's light
for me again.

Touch my cheek,
gently,
softly,
waken the passion
I've buried
so deep.

Be my friend,
my companion,
my lover,
be strong
for me,
when I am weak.

I've died
so many times,
and given up
on the beauty I know:
touch my cheek,
waken the passion,
oh God,
I want to love you...
So.

There is so much yearning and beauty in this piece. I know exactly how you feel. a great poem.

city where all roads
meet, waiting for you,To the depths of the ocean where all hopes sank,
searching for you," Joy divison

JWesley~
Exquisite in it's longing.
You are in touch with the fiber of your being.

'Be my friend,
my companion,
my lover,
be strong
for me,
when I am weak.'

A lovely, lovely piece.
