HOLD ME

Lost, I travelled far and wide,
Searching for the window of your soul,
Now I need your warmth from the cold,
For I have seen life through the silken blue depths of your eyes,
Seen the remnants,
Shattered fragments of life’s echoes past,
Like Molten, fiery, flecks of gold,
Witnessed your despair, your strangled sighs,
Hold me, I need you now,
For here I stand,trembling on your threshold…..
Feeling like a frightened child,
Home, at last..

What can be better than a happy reunion?! Like a trembling frightened child he is standing at her threshold carrying all the wisdom of the world on his shoulders - he is back to wipe the tears of despair from her eyes. This is the end of a long journey and love is back now where it belongs, - hold on to it and never let go.

Nicely worded Andrew. All the best.
We are all strong and fragile at the same time.
