Healing

Tucked in a cave surrounded by darkness, you shined your light and stretched out your hand to me. 

Broken, hurt, and abandoned. Trust no longer existed, so I  hesitated. Not knowing what you wanted from me. 

Who is this man? Is it safe to take his hand? 

You saw my fear, so you sat in the corner and smiled. 

Your eyes were filled with love and gentleness, yet my heart would not allow me to move. 

I was paralyzed with fear. 

You began to tell me your stories of love, loss and pain. How you could feel what I felt. 

That my pain caused you pain, and we were one in the same. 

You stretched out your hand to me again and I came to you and laid my head in your lap. 

Your hands caressed my hair, soothing away the pain and loss. Instilling in me a sense of peace and renewed love. 

This stranger healed my broken soul.

What he saw in me I will never know.

There is always a reason people meet each, maybe your stranger find peace of soul in him; while sharing his side with you.

This stranger was meant to be in my life and I was meant to be in his... I hope he does find peace with me because I find peace in him.
Thank you my friend! :)

you're most welcome, i think this can be one interesting book...don't you agree?

[Natalie Dieudonne]

Yes, I definitely agree! This story is still being written though. So the book can be written in a few years :)

Well some of the best stories are written in flashbacks...when two strangers meet and share their side of stories. Each of them are colorful people and do have a stories, which can surprise the world. I guess would be interesting, like the way you wrote a poem for stranger friend. The way you shared your previous life, must be amazing.

[Natalie Dieudonne]

This is very true. This can be a new project :)

[A. Amos]

Well once you meet your soul mate, I think that is the time when the story should be shared and start working on the project...

[Natalie Dieudonne]
