Reach Inside Me

you reach deep inside of me  
bringing out a part that is so hidden
dark and lonely  
it takes my breath away

your soft words comfort me 
late at night as I listen to you 
drawing out feelings 
that have long lain dormant 
in my soul

love and kindness are mine again
as I hear your sweet voice 
soothing my aching heart 
seeing me for what I am

once again I long for romance and desire 
hoping to open myself up
to a new beginning a new passion 

calmness surrounds me 
like a warm embrace and brings me
great joy in knowing that happiness 
can be mine once more

Ohh don't we all yearn for this feeling.. Nothing more comforting than soothing the soul

Betty,, Congratulations on your win. I'm finally making time to read every entry, intended for me in Shadow's Hamilton depression contest. It was a tough fight, however at the end I prayed, and asked to take over and he did. WOW, it was what I call a miracle. Thanks for lifting my day with this poem... Love LINDA
