Poem – Gateway to reality

You were my rescue beacon
Ignited the path I took
A bridge that spanned life’s turbulence
The thrashing sea became my brook
Rescued me from darkness
Then showed me the way
Gone too soon to know you more
Returned to your cold stay
You were the key to my survival
Pulled me into the light
Youth drowned maturity
Kept me warm through each hysterical night
A medicinal cure that saved me
Eroded the disease inherent within
A cure for pure insanity
You silenced every sin
Forever in your debt
The path you led me to I walk this night
Memories I cannot forget
A gateway to a new world
Unlock the secrets of my heart
Though your now so far away
We will never be apart
