Torches Tied

With queries and questions
for a year-long protracted night,
understanding came in a instant,
I believed.

       Going home, alone, accompanied 
       by a weird, unfamiliar light;
       I drove off a familiar cliff.
       They bereaved.

Instead of  mortuary, a mansion
designed by spirit, not by might
I’m home amid thousands 
well- received.
