My Anchor
No one has touched my heart so deep within
Or wrapped themselves around my lonely soul,
For I have shut out all the world and in
Darkness, I've lived a life that's ne'er been whole.
I'm of the ocean; you are of the shore,
You've brought me home when I was set adrift
And with you, my anchor, I drift no more,
For your arms you've offered me as a gift.
You bring me life as though all light were new,
I walk from shadows that your light's diffused
And now that my senses you do imbue,
In glowing ambience I am suffused.
I long have hungered for a life complete;
Now, lying here with you, I am replete.
