Light

The sun is rising
My eyes can finally seek
what I've been longing for.
I have crawled from that dark, deep hole
That has held me hostage for so long
I can see the horizon
The light shines again.
FInally,
The light shines on me.
A feeling so heavy,
is lifted off
I am finally free.
to float away
Away with light
Into the light.
The stitches are removed from my lips
the blindfold taken off,
and my eyes and the world are revealed
Finally,
The light
Just what I've been looking for.
