Gifts from The Group
You have given me;
Stars on a cloudy night
By which to find my way.
A gentle breeze upon slackened sails
During my personal doldrums.
You have given me;
The excruciating pain of shared laughter
Vibrating against a shattered rib cage.
Flash floods generated by healing tears,
by love, compassion and by friendship –
All falling too fast for my parched soul.
You have painted a rainbow
On my frozen desert skies.
Put air into my aching lungs
And placed Hope on the far horizon –
Some one hold me tight please,
Tell me it’s not a mirage.
