"The Eyes That Turned My Tides" a poem by Jess Coffman

The Eyes That Turned My Tides

A familiar fear echos through Me
And I contemplate running away
But you hold me still with tranquil eyes
And in them, I can’t help but stay

What I thought was real love from another
Left my hopeful heart, sunken and drowned
But you’ve kept me safe with buoyant love
And in you, my new faith abounds

JESS COFFMAN

This tiny love poem is dedicated to my Billy.
