Poem
I ambled in shadowed life, secluded in shrouded night,
afraid to be seen by day, fearing glowering looks in light.
I searched for a refuge where none could do me harm,
and a fire in winter to beget my cold heart to grow warm.

No cacophony of a running brook would bring relief.
I heard no harp strings in symphony to ease my grief.
No one did I find to soothe or salve my restless pain,
no willing hand reached out to help me stand again.

I was a dreamer, spinning daydreams I never found.
No twin for my soul; no loved one to whom I was bound.
I couldn't hear my weeping,  which I loathed so much.
My wants and needs were the same - just a gentle touch.

My sorrowful eyes cast downward so no one would see
the empty portals left behind of the woman I used to be.
Destined to always be alone, I gave up on love and hope.
With clouded visions in my eyes,  no longer could I cope.

Bundled in rags, I realized how inhuman I had become.
In fetal pose I gave up, to malevolence I did succumb.
Unworthy, I closed my eyes to sleep,  but first to pray,
"God, show me mercy and not give me another day."

I felt a hand on my cheek; and fingers brush my lips.
His warmth was fire, radiated from his gentle fingertips.
I blossomed as a flower, but couldn't give joyous scream,
guided by the hands of one I'd only imagined in a dream.

My eyes could not envision and my ears had never heard
but my heart embraced what I could not express with word.
My rescuer took my hands and dried the tears from my eyes.
There was no more remorse. I no longer donned sad disguise.

No more spinning daydreams of what life could hold for me.
Gone are the days and nights of all the, "If I could only see."
Sight does not open doors or windows to wisdom's call.
For the chance I've been given; well, now I think I have it all.

I've the gift of hope, with the knowledge that someone cares.
No more whining over how I used to think life was just not fair.
I walked out of the deep shadows where I used to live and hide,
into a world where I am loved, with an angel always at my side.
