"Your Presence : My Gift"

The universal winds cupped me in her hands
the day you made your presence known to me
The rustic leaves of Autumn took the place of my own footsteps
Physically, you were not behind me
Yet it was enough for me to see

That you were there to hold my hand
That you were there to guide this man
The feather of white which was on my behalf
was placed upon my hazy path

I feel your energy as I write these words
Your wings of love embracing my soul
My room, my world grows clear & bright
Are you here to take me home?

Blessed was I to receive the gift...
of communication with one of you
As fleeting as the meeting was
It left its indelible mark
on my raised & grateful consciousness
a sign to save me from impending hopelessness

You expressed your concern for my physical well-being
Though it took for me to turn away
to know I was believing

If I closed my eyes
and opened my ears
I could hear the screams
of dying cells

Through your few chosen words
you lifted me up
You lit my path before I fell

I acknowledge you
I love you
I have faith that I will grow

Please have trust
Believe in me now
Before you turn away and go...
