Darker than night

Brighter than dawn

A leaf in winter

Still holding on

- - -

A life measured by heartbeats

Somehow still mine

In all that is yours

I’m no longer blind

- My eyes opened to the harsh beauty in this sweet reality –

Every gentle movement

Painfully exquisite

Every promise faithful

Brokenly perfect

- - -

Awoken by the truth

Knowing love is not alone

Paths lit by darkness

I’ve found my way home
