This poem is the equivalent of Lost and Alone, but the mood, thoughts, and feelings are completely opposite.

Found and Belonging
The clouds have dissolved; the wind has died
I've finally succeeded in turning my tide
A bond so special it startles even me
Especially how it came on so suddenly
The darkness is gone; And it nearly blinds me
To know I've got someone, at last, beside me
Suddenly, my hopes are relit
like a fire on wet wood but the flame is so strong
it doesn't take long
for the wood to dry
and the flame burns high!
I've finally found someone whop understands me
When she looks in my eyes I can tell that she sees
More than a window
I'm no longer alone, cursed to be
Lost and longing for an eternity
I've found my path with somewhere to go
I'm no longer a misfit with no control
My worlds is now colorful, with this being
Who will help me spread my growing, filling wings
and fly (higher than ever before!)
Someone who cares, I've found my own somewhere
I'm saved; no longer a window all look through
They really care where I go, what I do!
I have someone to be with, my heart's not breaking
I'm found; not alone; heart no longer aching
They care Not nowhere
No longer alone
My life was rough and I can tell they did see
The aching, and lost, and very alone me
My world's not alone; lost; isolated
From all else
My rain isn't falling, it's ended, it's ceased
I've reached the top of the ladder and now I am free!
The light has stopped fleeing; it's stilled
And released the no longer mentally killed
Me; no longer alone and lost, and in a whole new world
Of happiness
I'm happy, not alone or lost; there's no curse
To keep me confined in it's never-ending murks
Not an eternity of lostness
Someone can guide me, at last; someone can be my map
My life's not an endless journey; I can finally rest and nap
Safely, reviving me
All my old friends, hopes and dreams
May have died with my old world it seems
I was alone, but now I'm OK
I've risen anew above my old ways
I've finally found someone who cares
Who accept that I'm not just there
This rain isn't falling; it's ended, it's stopped
I've reached the final step and now I'm free at the top!
The light has stopped fleeing; it's finally stilled
And released a no longer mentally killed
Me, no longer alone and lost; living in a world of happiness
I don't feel like I'm dying from the inside out
I've dropped my misphancy, though I didn't try
Still they gave me more than a glare and a sigh
So, it's not hopeless anymore
I've been repaired, my hopes resurrected
All my hopes and dreams can now be kept
My loneliness and lostness? All gone in yesterday's wind
I've found that there is a way
left, filled with hope
There's more to me now than endless pain
I've escaped the ocean, the blizzard, my rain!
Now, it's sunny and bright outside
And I've finally turned my tide
I can finally, safely say
That there really, truly, HONESTLY was a day
When a light shined through my pitch-black darkness
And freed me!
I'm not trapped, a prisoner of my own life
I'm not lost and alone; it seems like they've removed the knife
That caused endless pain
There goes the rain
Here's the map to save my day
All I can say
Is
It's no longer hopeless
