His embrace so familiar,
So strong.
Into his arms I melt.
For the moment, nothing else matters.
With each breath, I find my calm.
The hurricane continues around me,
But shelter, his gift to me.
My mind finally abandons the turmoil
And I let go:
The sadness,
The hopelessness,
The fear.
In its place he gives me hope.
My rock.
My love.
This week Galit asked to conjure something. An object, a person, a feeling, a color, a season- whatever we liked keeping it under 100 words. Not sure about the word count, but this is exactly what I needed.
safety... ah yes... i love that feeling!
ReplyDeletenicely done!
Beautiful... is this your husband? Lover? Or God, in prayer?
ReplyDeleteThis is so powerful and moving - I also am guessing that it's your husband or God - or perhaps your father?

ReplyDeleteOh, this is beautiful. Everyone should have someone who makes them feel this way.
ReplyDeleteOh, yes. Beautiful. I think it's husband. And exactly what we all ache for.
ReplyDeleteWow! That was something else Jackie. Just amazing!

This is beautiful, Jackie!! Well done :)
ReplyDeleteOh, how wonderfully reassuring. What a great source of comfort. Nice job!
ReplyDeleteThat is one of the best feelings. Transferring the burden of worry to someone more than willing to help you carry it. Lovely job.
