From the Brink

As my fingers trace your silhouette mind And the strength returns straight from your love’s heart, Those your shoulders that held me safe I find No more to dwell in life’s shadowy part. Everyday a stepping stone across strife Each tender touch and words spoken ring out, Eyes that see the same yet different life Your love grows in me in you there’s no doubt. To take the wrong road the right path a choice Alone there was only one direction, When in dispute one opinion one voice You did instigate life’s resurrection. In pursuit of those the headiest days Found an alternative with wondrous ways. © Harry J Horsman 2014
