Darkness and pain were my life
Time seemed endless
And the shadow
Ever encumbering and full of strife
At times I thought this was the way it would always be
A never ending maelstrom
Drawing me closer and closer to the apex of the storm
Then one day came along this effervescent light
So bright it was and so welcoming
Yet so unfamiliar and out of place
Then, the shadows and darkness dissipate
Leaving me consumed by the light and it’s warmth
I see your smiling face and outstretched hand
Then hear you utter the words....
“Welcome home.”
