Emotion Stirred



Rising up within me
Feelings once lost now confide
They were not swept away with the evening tide

Buried deep within
This pulsing heart of mine
Truth known but quieted with the duration of time

It danced below
Permeated every shadow
Illuminating a soul just waiting to be released

All it took was a simple touch
And suddenly I could feel so much
Unbeknown to myself for so long
Until it formed a voice in the rhythm of a song
I am feeling, I am being
And it feels good to be honest with myself...again.

Tears of joy and relief falling
Making paths across my cheeks
Feeling understood by a hand that does not make me feel weak

These stirrings are things of beauty
And I think you see it for what it is
Words are not needed, this simple action lets you know you were missed

All it took was a simple touch
And suddenly I could feel so much
Unbeknown to myself for so long
Until it formed a voice in the rhythm of a song
I am feeling, I am being
I am reaching, I am believing
And it’s all because of you.
