Feel Again

Alone.

Cold.

Numb.

This is what I am.

This is what I have been; it's all I ever will be.

They're behind me,

They're in front of me.

All around,

Insuring my prolonged loneliness.

Their whispers haunt my dreams,

Rabid and wild,

Uncontrollable.

I'm frozen in the fire,

There is nowhere to go.

My mind is loose,

My legs are sore.

Walking two thousand miles and more.

Where am I going?

What will I find?

A sun, though miniscule,

Lands in this lonely path I'm on.

My hands cradle its fragility.

This sun feels too warm,

Warmer than I've ever known.

Soft and gentle in the wake of my weariness,

Your sunlight caresses,

Then carries my soul far away.

Far away from my path,

Where are you taking me?

You fly me away from the path,

How you manage I don't know.

My heavy heart should weigh you down,

But your assurance is enough.

I can only pray I won't lose this light I've just found.

The effect you have,

On my life,

My heart,

My soul,

Is greater than the cosmos from which you surely came.

They haven't figured what I've found.

I fear the day they do.

Your light is my savior,

Rescue,

Shelter,

Safety.

You ensure my own flickering light continues to bur n, however unsteady.

Your light has affected me in the purest way possible.

I was alone, cold,

Without warmth.

But now,

I can feel again.
