What If (redux)

What If…

~

…I’d held you close
close enough
to feel your heart
beat one with mine.

wrapped you tight
in a healing warmth

kissed away your loss

whispered my soul
into your empty spirit

took your fear
in loving hands
hurled it far far
into yesterday

stirred the dieing embers
of trust
to reignite a flame of faith

embraced your spark of life

help you nurture it
in safe shelter
’til vital yet again
feeling strength surge
a core power awaken

so you would not
extinguish it
ever again

what if

  1. The eternal “what if”. What if we had done all the things we now wish we had done, especially if someone we loved suffered by our failure to do so? Poignant and meaningful. Thank you!
