It was in the freefall
Acceptance
when I closed my eyes
facing the reality of
having to go within
to ever make it out
of my chains rusted by years of
tears

Your voice warm and deep
guiding me through places
I vowed never to return
Reaching me through my
rivers of tears
intermingled with pain and fear
Red and black

Falling through darkness
with a bare thread of hope
held by the strength of your heart
to which I clung tightly
and finally landing
in your arms
"Open your eyes"
you said gently
"You're free"

And before me stood a world
overflowing with richness
shining brightly with clarity
and the man who holds
my heart


To capture and live a moment is truly living

Sort of like the first time skydiving that freefall is hard to do but when you touch the surface of mother earth you know you've experienced an exilerating feeling...like breaking free and finding love all over again  good work!!

Reaching me through my
rivers of tears
intermingled with pain and fear
Red and black

Falling through darkness
with a bare thread of hope
held by the strength of your heart
to which I clung tightly
and finally landing
in your arms
"Open your eyes"
you said gently
"You're free"

==================

this is very well written...
you express many emotions with depth and clarity...
lovely writing of promise and anticipation found in trusting another...
very  nice indeed
take care
