Can You

I am a form of divine chaos that most don't understand Only needing soft words of love and hold onto a hand Let me still breathe while you take away my breath Bring my being a sweet new life not smother it to death Cradle my essence, love it like it was your very own Whisper to my soul each night not leave me all alone Calm the ache in my chest to still my beating heart Can you truly be that one and not just play the part

Wow. This is one of my very favs. Lovely write my friend. Sharply penned, with expertise, gleaned from practice(lovingly applied, ever sharp as an athelete) and a wild heart. Ann
