The Light

My spirits have been lifting
The ice begins to thaw
The deep end begins to shallow
I recognize me once more.

It’s been a long time coming
My rope was worn and frayed
I’ve been scooped up and have my bearings
I’ve once again been saved.

The low times have been frequent
The highs fleeting and brief
This happy medium is magnificent, 
a Godsend, and sweet relief.

Thank you so much for the honor of being featured on Mother's Day 2015 on Poetry Soup! I remember writing that poem quite some time ago. It was nice to write something a little lighter for a change.
