He

Missing image

He holds me in the palm of his hand
keeping my heart safe within his love.

He watches over me yet he is not near
listening to my fears soothing my soul.

He lifts me up when I am in need
giving me balance bringing a calm.

He is there for me my best friend
in him I put my complete trust.

He wipes away my falling tears
taking my pain replacing it with a smile.

He takes my hand guiding me through life
while allowing me freedom to be who I am.

He knows my heart as I give my love freely
the bond between we two growing  stronger.

He is not a deity or even a demi-god
but a mere man who walks the earth.

He is called by many different names
some will know of him others only guess.

He has shown me many splendors of life

shared his thoughts, his soul, his philosophy.

He holds me in the palm of his hand
as I hold him bound together in spirit.

    wow a great write you have going here. I can understand exactly how it won a silver trophy. I love the way you use imagery to describe Him. And at first I thought you meant a person but towards the end I got the impression that perhaps you actually do mean HIM. Thanks for sharing

    Good Write

    My original impression was that you were referring to a spiritual relationship, as in religious. It still is a spititual bond, even when you tell us this is a real person. Thank you for sharing - your descriptions let us be supported and cared for with you.

    A poem of empathy.
    Great feeling.
    Being a He, I can only hope someone would write something like this for me. That I touched a heart that hard with love. Deserve the words.
    I bow. Rustynite.

    This is so full of heart

    and passion of loves true feeling, a dreamy poem of love's distant reality, it's strength, your faith and trust and all said humbles the lucky recipient of your love, thoughts and what you believe in. He has to know the value of what he holds in his palm for it is you that makes and give his palm a purpose.
    Beautiful poem, Mook.

    Again, I quicky scrolled to read the piece before looking at the picture. Is this not a card, a memo, a reminder to someone, somewhere, someplace? Could this not be the mantra of all real loves, everywhere? Honey, you don't need a photo. Lie still and see a photo on the screen of your mind. Write about it. Close your eyes and press on your eyelids gently. Images will arise. Poems will immerse. I'm not discounting the contest or your ability, only saying that you can produce the photos to write about yourself. RC PS I know I'm a bonehead.

    Intriguing

    This was an interesting concept on He.
    I guess everyone needs a He in their life.
    The feeling of comfort and security is
    so important in a huge world such as ours.
    Nothing really makes sense without something
    or someone to believe in.

    There is nothing one could possibly say that would do this justice.... it can't be summed up just as the love itself can't... perfection in my book, am always smiling that the one I love, loves and is loved by someone so perfectly.... If it doesn't win a contest, no matter there is a prize much more worth it and you have it in your heart...
