Listen to poem:
In the pursuit of shadows I found myself lost in darkness, then you came along shining your light so I could see Ensnared in a cobweb of despair.... The more I tried to break free; the more entangled I became, then you came along and helped pry me loose My heart, adrift, floated waywardly from sea to sea in search of a safe harbor, then you came along and made it a home in yours My faith, at the mercy of the wind; a leaf blown every which way, then you came along and anchored it to the ground Submitted for...
