Arms In The Dark
A poem
There are moments in the dark
when the loneliness is piercing
moments that have me begging for the future to arrive today
when I’ll be held in the dark
secure and safe within the arms of another
knowing that dawn is always faced together
In this moment I feel alone
the only arms to hold this weight are mine
the only arms to meet our needs
the only arms to bring us security
This loneliness isn’t empty
it is full of the strength and courage I carry
I am safe because I make myself so
I am secure because I know who I am
There will be a moment when I can rest
when another’s arms will take my load
until then I am strong enough to hold my own.
