Has faith and trust finally made a difference?
Night after night, he finds himself safely tucked up within patient, caring arms that hold him.
Quiet expressions of shared desires work to erase all doubt and pain, take the old, and make it new again.
Few words are spoken now, no more are needed to soothe.
No longer hiding from the shadows of yesterday, his soul sings once more, now anxious to return the expressions of love, long thought unreachable and beyond the furtherest dream.
He smiles at the newness of what he feels.
Doubt and fear have begun to leave.
Hope has returned and he rejoices in it.
