my fearful, restless,
shattered soul
You’ve awakened
emotions I thought to be
dead and buried long ago
you gave them life
You are my shelter
in place of a dwelling
It is you who are my shelter
offering me protection
Love, Life, Hope
You have given me
Such wondrous gifts
You are a Goddess
I love you
My Inspiration
My Love, My Life
My Everything
