Soul Sister
Soul sister how I miss your presence beside me.
Whispering words of strength into my ear.
Guiding me.
Resting your hand upon my shoulder.
Helping me to choose which path to travel.
Even when I have chosen incorrectly.
Your hand never wandered.
Your step never faltered.
You took the blame without shame.
Held me invisibly.
Until the healing warmth could be felt to my inner soul.
In life's little disputes it seems as though I have forgotten you.
The distance seems to have grown out of control.
As though my heart got colder.
A disbelief took over.
I know you have never left me.
You have always been there waiting.
Hoping I would return.
That I would call to you.
I am calling to you.
I search for your inner light.
Long for the warming touch.
I listen even deeper.
To hear your voice whispering into my ear.
A desire to feel the warming of my heart with your touch is growing.
It is what my soul has been missing.
Help me to heal my mind of the ugliness I feel in my heart.
Teach me to see the beauty which my eyes once saw.
Forgive me for allowing a coldness to grow.
Replace the hate with your loving kiss.
Allow me to feel you.
Hear you once again.
