Talk To Me

Talk to me
in whispered words
that filter through the weary spaces
inside this weathered heart.

Let me float away
on the cadence of your voice
as it wraps me in your warmth
and trails like fingers on my skin
to wake me up from my reality
into a blissful dream

Let your laughter cleanse my soul
and leave me whole again
that I might view the stars
through eyes that see
beyond the indigo and white
that paint the sky
directly to the sparkle
in your eyes.

Envelop me
with smiles so softly spoken
that they lift me from despair
like wings of eagles soaring high
and give me strength
to breathe
and sigh
and be
the me I’m meant to be.

Talk to me.
