Al-Hadi

 Caught.

Drenched.

Mind racing with thoughts.

Words scrambling, eyes dazed.

Heart tightened with shame.

As the wheels turn, cars sped past.

As I was about to reach for autopilot,

Your hand grazed me.

And there it was, Your presence seemed to say

"Be still now love, tomorrow we fight another day." 

So there I stayed, consumed in Your warm embrace.

And as I uttered Your Name I knew, You've held onto mine light years before this day.
