in stillness
you found me
in the quiet darkest moment
given up
last breath forgotten
you held my hand
and saved me
I look to the sun, the sky
for answers
why? why do I turn
instead of watching
your face in the afternoon sun?
thoughts diverted
into chasms of sand
dried up water channels
the remains of last year’s storms
your touch reminds me
breathe
your smile reminds me
stay
your love reminds me
as the world falls away
you found me
in the quiet darkest moment
given up
last breath forgotten
you held my hand
and saved me
