If you fall helpless
beneath the winds
and rain of life,
I will lift you up
and be your shelter
from the storm

If you should find
that you are lost,
All you need do
is turn around
and take my hand,
I will guide you home

If your crystalline dreams
fall shattered
from your mind,
I'll kneel beside you
to pick up the pieces
from the floor

If you feel persecuted
by this cold, ruthless world,
I'll wash the crimson
from your face
and remove you crown
of thorns

If you become blided
in shadows of solitude,
The light of my love
will fall on you
to help you see
You're not alone

If you long to hear
a word that's true,
Just rest your head
upon my breast
and listen as my heart
speaks of love for you

If you ever want
for a place to hide
from whatever you feel
is burdening you,
Just simply think of me
as your sanctuary


 Something has to change. An undeniable dilemma. But I am not a burden anyone should bear.

danni,
this is absolutly beautiful...full of beautiful expressions and emotions...
there is something so poetic about the word sanctuary...(smile)
take care, janet marie

 "...she said I dont know if I've ever been good enough...I'm a little bit rusty...and I feel like my head is caving in,
and I dont know if I've ever been really loved- by a hand thats touched me, and I feel like somethings gonna give...and I'm a little bit angry...
Well...this aint over..NO not yet...not while I still need you around"...

   Danni:

      This is a beautiful well expressed poem.  You have a way with words.  I loved it.  My favourite stanzas were stanza 3 and stanza 4.

Take care,
Melissa Honeybee
