The Anklet

The calm before the storm has passed
The storm itself has had its run,
Never one to call it quits
I have braced through it with elan.
Exhaustion sometimes makes me ponder
My body or mind ... which is more tired I wonder!
Taking stock of all the bygones
As I close my eyes to think,
Flashbacks crowd my mind in a jiffy
Taking me right to the brink.
As I get sucked in a whirlpool
A touch of a warm hand jolts me awake,
I see your hands clasped around my ankle
Forcing my thoughts take a break.
Head held high you looked ahead
At the endless road ahead,
I followed your gaze and felt divine
My anklet sparkled in the sunshine.
New dreams and endless colours I could feel
Embracing the present is all I need to heal,
Your fingers whispered gently to my soul,
"The secret lies in the bends, take control."
Soaking in the feeling of your touch
Acknowledged that I don't need much,
Sometimes the answer lies in the unknown
So walk I shall, towards the bends that beckon.
Who knows what is waiting round the corner?
Faith is all we need to garner.
Surprises can only be pleasant,
If you believe in the Omnipresent,
And in Him I truly believe
The gift of love only He can give.
"The puzzle fell in place in such a short while"
I closed my eyes and thanked Him with a smile.
All it took is a leap of faith
Armed with that I'm now looking ahead,
I don't know what awaits round the corner
One thing for sure ... I'm feeling finer.
Right now all I need is your hand
And I'll be able to cross the bend,
So stay by my side and love me as I am
Let's make life witness the wham!
