Few years have been spent bereft
All alone in the darkness of guilt
Questioning choices and friendships
Tackling loss and raising a wall
Keeping life away from blooming
Closing my sight my voice my ears
Lifting the casket away
Shedding the gloom away
Feeling the sun on the skin
Winds roaring for encore
Greens and light chase away the lag
Hobbies and routine sets the tone
Braving all fears one face a day anew
Each breath closer to home again
Each step freed from chains of yore
Each gaze glistening with hope and vigour
Sky seems alight as sun shines through
Meaning is found again for life
