Somewhere

Somewhere when she sees the sunrise alone and filled with longing,

sitting in quiet listening to voice seeking to rediscover her life

that got lost after all the nights of chasing moons never caught,

I'll be there to hold her hand,

be the mirror that sees her truth and will love regardless,

even when the world has grown cold and silent.

 

For the somewhere in my heart that gives it a beat,

is the one I know can only be found

in the space between her arms

as the shelter we both share in silent caring embrace.

Who's gonna drive you home?
I just want one more chance
To put my arms in fragile hands."

    Dawn is breaking in a new day here reading your lines feeling the music of your words and 'Killing Me Softly' comes into my head. Brilliant take on the prompt. Very nicely constructed poem. You hold my attention completely. Good luck in the contest. Somehow it just fits.

    This is a nice take on the prompt. The reader is caught reading to listen for a voice to reach out for a hand to share. It feels like mothers arms to me. The heart that never stops caring.
