Feminine touch

Heart beat fast,

Pulses jittered like a vibrating phone,

Panic engulfed.

Cold and clammy skin drenched in sweat

Timorous, I rose shakily to my feet.

-

I fell myself,

Rose myself,

I didn’t think this would eternally change.

I didn’t want anything

Neither a person familiar or strange.

Like a movie flashed on a wall,

With no connection to time

Couldn't step in

Couldn't step out

Standing helpless in this ordeal,

A speck of light rose above me.

-

A portent perhaps,

A ray of hope

A sign of motherly love,

Stood her spirit

Fuelling me with endearment.

-

Wander for hope in what pleases you,

Never give up.

For remember,

The flesh and blood of whose you are

Is forever ingrained in you.
