Saved
Saved
Who was I then,
always writing about
the sadness of the disposessed,
the grief of the bereaved?
How I had lost
the way into
the promised land,
how I had ended up
in the pit of despair.
How was it that I could
never allow
my heart to fill with light,
my soul to ignite with joy?
Somehow I emerged
from that dark planet,
got free of the shadows
always flitting around me.
Now I am one
who sometimes reminisces
about those unhappy times,
but moves to another music,
lets the lover within
enter and embrace.
