1. EMBODIED HOPE

Drowned in a river of sadness
I struggle to escape,
A chance that I always hoped for
Has finally came

As I feel her touch
All my pain and fears are gone,
For she is the only one I wish for
To spend with my life

As I see her in front of me,
I slowly start to burst in tears,
For I know it is finally real
And such powerful love I am able to feel
After decades of grief,
The years tormented my heart,
Thorn apart my hopes and dreams,
That I will never find my love in this life

There she stands,
Unreachable as the sun
Her love sends heat
And warms my heart

As she slowly reaches my face,
I feel her gentle palm.
A soft kiss , a warm embrace,
From the love of my life

I watch her in the eyes
And I cannot believe she is real
She saved me from this torment,
The woman of my dreams
My love for her is indescribable,
Because with her I feel complete
And I never thought it is possible
For her existence to be real

As she slowly gave me her hand,
Trembling I grab it
And I promise to never abandon
My love, Ali
