you swam in my ocean
against the dark currents
you begged me with your eyes
to give you my strength

I heard your whispers
when your mouth was wet
with drowning sounds
and lifted you from the tides

you said I was your salvation
that my hands were your security
that my fingers were your want places
and that you loved the view

when I put you above the others
and let the sun touch you first
and the night leave you last
you said I was your comfort

then you said my hands made walls
that you could not see over
and that you missed the depths below
with freedom to swim your thoughts

my eyes looked another way
my strength whispered farwell
I reached down over my ocean
and let you slip between my fingers

"then you said my hands made walls
that you could not see over
and that you missed the depths below
with freedom to swim your thoughts

my eyes looked another way
my strength whispered farwell
I reached down over my ocean
and let you slip between my fingers"

This hit me in my understanding...freedom is a gift of love.

Wonderful writing!

letting go is so hard....
when the emotions are so strong....
I wonder if you know how much this touches,
and feels, thank you for this
