Bringing light into my darkness

Extant darkness fills my being,

Its overwhelming presence captures me.

In a childhood dream, I was seeing,

Beauty in all, how it’s meant to be.

As I walked in the world, head hung low,

Believing I didn’t in anything at all.

Oblivious to joy, having no inner glow,

No insight on life, just plain normal.

Then came a girl who lifted my chin,

Wiped my tears, her eyes so bright.

Then took my hand with a loving grin,

As she led me away into the light.

A poem I wrote straight from the heart

Filled with love and care, thanks for reading
