Saved my life

A stranger saved my life,
reversed my crash landing exit

an inch of string winding from you
stretching far enough to reach me,

everybody thought that the connection
was a premature idea born in my head.

I twisted my arms out towards you
you tied the string around my purple wrists

and moved slowly proving something,
that I was worth the wait

connected with something other than words.
You lifting my dusty arms to a slow rescue

proved another thing, that I was precious,
“Your body is heavy, with the weight of gold”

you told me, even your lips moved slowly
I tried to trace their outline with my fingertips,

before I fell back out of continuousness, I tried to speak,
but you ran your fingertips over my mouth.

Whispering “Sleep is like gold ,also, follow it
into the dark mines of its first breath."

I wanted to, but I was scared, that I would
never wake up. Scared,that that was my fault.

"Don't worry, everything will be fine."
You placed your fingertips over my hand,

you promised me using your words, so that I
would feel safe,then from the corner of my

eyes I watched you remove the string from my arm,
and I was so relieved to be bound to you.
