Filled

Love stole in

And filled the empty places

Left hollow

When you first said my name

And uttered your words of love

There was a power so strong

I felt rush through the soul of me

When we connected

And grace filled those places

Left hollowed out by doubt

Little by little

And even though a host of sentries

Patrolled the ramparts of my heart

You charmed them one by one

Like a mesmerising force

Until they surrendered all their armour

And losing all control

They danced naked in the sun

Then when the Moon kissed the horizon

While I awaited the arrival of the night

Hope made its presence felt

Hand in had with longing

As I felt the force of trust

In the power of your love

Fill all my hollow places
