Lost and FoundA Poem by Kelly RainwaterWhen you look into my eyes
and touch my face; and our shared whispers reveal our souls; When a moment in time stretches to endless hours and we are nearing the rising dawn; When I feel you so deeply, your heart speaking from within mine, feeling as though you were borne from me or was I borne from you? When I realize that being lost in you means I am finally found, and the panic begins rising because it can't possibly be; When I'm terrified to cross the line, destroying the last barrier by speaking what my heart has been screaming; By letting go and giving in; By trusting you, believing you; I find myself grasping for the safety net, Afraid of falling any faster; Afraid of falling any deeper; Afraid of falling any harder; I then open my eyes and see yours mirroring what I cannot find the courage to say. And your heart is open, and your arms are open, letting me fall, making me safe, keeping me with you. © 2008 Kelly Rainwater |
