River

As darkest clouds race across a formidable sky,
It is in this frozen moment I surely want to cry !
Pure hopelessness could be as tangible as ever,
But love is here to stop me searching for a river !
...........................................
Swell and currents once seemed to bring relief,
But thoughts of being without you beggar belief !
You are the reason I carry on in the cruel storm,
Your care continually showing what is now won !
............................................
Your warmth and spirit raise me so effortlessly,
Saving my soul when it all seems a catastrophe !
Never could I have imagined such a blessed gift.
You are a life which means I am not cast adrift !
