Out of Darkness

I stare at the floor
the same wrapper has been there for three weeks. 
Blinds shut.

~~~~~

Three weeks since I have felt sun. 
The idea of walking out the door was chilling. 

The storm has passed, a phoenix from the dark.
A sun smiles down on my skin. Though the journey is not over,
just enjoy this.
