Breath

The stars sparkle along the twilight road
a whisper falling upon uncaring ears
I cry for help along a fallen display of limbs
I struggle through the mud of lies
and drowned in the sea of deception

I can’t hold out on my own
the currant is too strong against my fragile back
pushing me towards my death of emotions
my tears mixing in a destruction of my own self worth

then I feel a hand
tugged my soul from the depths of dehydration
my lungs burn and ache with salvation
my body caving into the lost grounds of my thoughts

the person dragged me to my safety
holding onto my hand along the snakes and demons
was this all in my mind
my eyes closed from the blinding light from beyond

darkness cool against my back
my skin crawling with nervous tension
then the person embarrassed me and all torments fell to pass
all darkness fading into a stream of beckoning light

the stars rejoicing in a twinkle of delight
the moon watching silently from it’s perch in the sky
my eyes closed
and for once I felt at peace

no torture from the lies and aggravation
no crying from my pain and depression
I opened my eyes to look upon my savior
and saw nothing but the eyes looking back into my soul

he did not see me for what I had done in the past
did not care what I have looked like
didn’t notice my flaws and broken missing pieces of my heart
he just saw me for who I was

he picked me up in his arms and carried me along
through the fields of grace and roads unknown
I just watched and wondered without fear
so many things I want beyond all known to me

to be loved without regret
to care for someone with the return of it all
to watch the summer rain and count the leaves in the fall
to sing of happiness and dream of delight

to walk through life, without a struggle to survive
