The open Door Poem, by notapoet, at My poetic side

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
