TO TOUCH A WOMAN'S SOUL

When you let me in
Into the deepest darkest places
Finally saying only to me
That which would never be said again

Oh, it was then
Yes, then at that moment
That the deepest trust ever known
Was enveloped between you & I

Sharing the painful past
So afraid that only it would last
But on that night it was spoken
Only to be let go & to be known
By at least one

So honored was I
To know you at the deepest level
To hold you at the most tender moment
So painful to experience with you
The horrors put upon the child within

A moment in time
When one opens up the darkest space
It was then that on earth
The greatest gift was given

To know another in this place
Is to touch a woman's Soul
The closest one ever gets
To touching spirit, life force

Kissed with the seal of knowing
Understanding, accepting & loving
All that there is always in you
Completely loved and understood

Wrapped within the gentleness
Of my womanly arms
Held close to my heart
Gently Rocked until
All felt peaceful again

To know that you are loved
By at least one
Who knows the worst
Accepts who you are now & then

Knowing that you are loved
Encouraged to grow
Finding the courage to evolve
Beyond what Lovers know
