The Journey Back to Me

THE JOURNEY BACK TO ME

Light

A first breath,

A first smile

A first laugh

All seems right the life that is she is childlike but right,

Dark shadows take the light

Playtime is over

If you cannot play you cannot dream

There is no hope in eternal darkness

She grows, in the darkness

She is alone in the darkness

She exists in the darkness

There is no life but how can that be for here she stands

For all to see

Forty years the journey

Forty years in the darkness

Forty years alone, no laughter, no connection, simply existing breathing

Without living.

Forty years the journey to discover that existing in life and living life are

not the same.

Light

A first breath

A first smile

A first laugh

She no longer exits she lives

There is life for now there is understanding

Hope, faith, light and giving

She no longer exists in the darkness she lives in the light

for here she stands for all to see

and she

Is me.
