A spark beneath
the darkness,
my hopelessness
a glimmer.
The start
of hope, new beginnings
future, past and closure of
what’s left behind,
a mask
who I used to be.
My flame was dim
barely visible
yet, someone saw it
small and low
they blew onto my spark
all possibility
and now I see my disregarded soul.
Hope was there today
if only for today
it is the start
the road I choose to travel.
I am not alone
I have the very part of me
I hide it well
empty and so distant.
Full of shame
guilt ridden to the core
yet on this day
I found acceptance.
Forgiveness came
if only for a moment
it is a start
of what may be foreseen.
Just for today
I felt I had a reason
to be alive
and not only existing.
I seek out truth
so I can find my reason
purpose to be
more than
who I am!
