Confined to that place
I was lost and alone
Within the realm of obscurity
And desolation
Confused and disoriented
I strained to focus my mind
As my body lay helpless and numb
Struggling to breathe
As my life was slowly drained from me
With every breath taken
Of the stale and dead air that surrounded me
At the pinnacle of my emotional and spiritual demise
I felt the soft warm touch of your lips
As you breathed your life giving air
Into my love starved lungs
As I inhaled the very essence of you
My blood began to deliver
The sustenance of your message
Promise and hope
Coursed throughout my body
And infused my spirit
With the resurrective strength of your tenderness
And the healing power
Of your inner warmth and compassion
You took hold of my hand
And helped me to my feet
Lowered the black gossamer veil
Of uncertainty that hid my view
Of what was true and relevant to my soul
And revealed the open door
That led to my escape
From the confines of my sorrow and loneliness
And together
We stepped across that threshold
Back into your world
Of eternal love and happiness
