The Visitor

You stole in unbeknown'st to me with soft and silent tread, You laid your hands upon my heart and my confusions fled. You stretched and flexed its crumpled wings unused to flights of joy, they tripped and skipped in gratitude just like a little boy, and by degrees my troubled soul took solace from above, my empty feelings of despair transfigured by Your Love.

There behind lies a tale... I wrote this upon my discharge from a psychiatric unit where I was under treatment for depression. This is my thank you note to God for pulling me through! Thanks Jean. Your kind remarks are greatly appreciated. Keith
