She Rushed In Like a Flurry
When something returned home
We were surprised, as we had not realized joy had been missing
She rushed in like a flurry, talking excitedly
Enthusiastic about life, loving college, enjoying people
We had not seen this girl's joy for almost ten years
She had been hiding in a world of gloom
In a bedroom she had painted black, even the ceiling
We were thrilled, when something returned home.
