with unblinking eye
i take in the light
that beams brightly
healing my
body & soul

with unblinking eye
i take in the light
that beams brightly
healing my
body & soul
.
guessing the light within
was stronger than the desire
to snuff it out
more life to be embraced
day by day
step by step
moment by moment
.
calm washes over me
hoping my shades of heaven
are as imagined
only to wake up
cursing my fate
until finally
living makes sense
.
seeds of sorrow
spread like rampant weeds
smothering decades of life ~
slowly pruning imbedded vines
making room for love & joy
.
touching my cheek
wetness of silent tears
cause unknown
someone new
so very sad
.
dead dreams
used to plague the night
now light has found its way
through that darkness
awakening my spirit
.
few understand our story
you loving me with all my trauma
standing by me through
emotional and medical crises
your love my reason for life
.
this once orphaned heart
has learned to love & trust
embrace safe others
express freely
by pushing through the scars
.
a lifetime of trauma
washed away from soul
now light shines through
helping me to breathe in
love and joy
.
twilight murmurs
just around the bend
tomorrow ~ begin life anew
sun fades into moonlight
compass stays the course
.
