Poem You Give Me

FEATURED POETRY - ARCHIVE

You Give Me

You just give me this sense.

It’s a sadness,

it’s a whole ocean of heartfelt sorrow.

And I know I have some wisdom that will help,

and I know I can find calm in your desolate sea,

bring wisdom to turn the tide.

Not by taking over,

your vulnerability is as mine,

but by standing close to you,

by steadying your hand,

and quietening your restless soul.

It’s the sense you give me.

It’s a need I have to console.
