Parting Plea

Your heart is my home That warmth is gone Take me to that dark space Where I can trace your face And reach the light In your stretch of heartless night Reach the light Let them see your face Let them feel the trace of love That gave me peace.

The somber humidity of your heart's voice really surrounds my soul in this poem which I've read many times now Laura. A beautiful balance of pain and love, desolation and good dreams Poetess...J.A.B.

All that cries out in me is often lost in the boom of the storm, Justin. Thank you for understanding - you're an awesome hope for me. <3 ~Laura

I have never heard or seen a loss described in such a poetic fashion. It's uplifting and hopeful. Very good you are!!
