The Promise

The Promise…

You found me when no one else was looking.  I was so weary and desolate and I had masked myself so no one knew I was missing....except for you.

You heard my weeping and reached out to this foreigner not knowing why just sensing  a proverbial passion once known but forgotten.

I felt a supposed rouse in my heart.  The tug was so fierce that I wrenched the chamber just a chink to see who stood there.

At once I remembered that voice in my head.  You had sworn to find me no matter how broad the crossing to unearth me from my early grave and fetch me home.

You breathed life into my failing soul and awakened all I had obscured in hope he wouldn’t place me.

I surrendered to your tenor knowing that there was reprieve and you had kept your pledge.

I was home
