Dismantled as I was
You looked passed
The stained glass treatments
Wreckage lay
Where my love had been
Footsteps worn on a path well traveled
Or so I thought
I would never
Danced this dance again
Disassembled and misplaced
You walked by the slaughtered remains
A battlefield I continued to struggle on
Not that you ignored it
I know you could see
With no enemy but myself
You offered a hand
Bandaged and sutured
What was left of me.
Tending to my mortal wounds
You showed me a place to start
Enlightened to a critical horizon
You offered fuel
Disguised as love
To heal my willful heart.
Rising from the ashes
Dusting off the hurt and pain
You watched me stand
On my own
My faith restored again.
Beyond the baggage
Shining slightly
A spark became a flame.
Dismantled as you were
I looked passed
The stained glass treatments
Taking you
Where you never dreamed to be
Footsteps on a path well traveled
Or so you thought
You would never
But now I ask
Would you please,
Dance this dance with me.

    What a tribute to those who reach out from a place of where the light may be only flickering and with friendship and love the lantern burns bright for both to see the world is a beautiful place to find adventure and to slumber peacefully not afraid of what the morning shall bring….
    Loved this format of this…the repeat worked magic in this verse….X
