You feed me

You feed me

Every day is free

Of disbelief

There is no begging

For a bowl

Of charity

Everything you offer

Flows from a well-spring

Of goodwill

You are the best of me

Once brought low

Disheartened in a trough

Of deepest blue

A slough of blackened dog

Lost in the darkest days

Deprived of light

Stumbling blindly

From one affliction to another

Starved of hope

Without the strength

To raise hell

Heaven was for dreamers

Running from nightmares

Never finding respite

Until I found you

And was held

In the magic of your embrace

The comfort of your grace

Has welcomed me

I am alive with the possibility

Of survival

Beyond the moment

I was lost

Only to find

The strength within me

Was my belief in you.
