LINES OF THOUGHT © 2016

I who lived with the reasons for sadness,

Today, I've learned to embrace more gladness.

In the shadows that once wrapped me tight,

Now I see colors that delight.

The weight I carried upon my chest,

Has been lifted; I've laid it to rest.

From pain and sorrow, I said farewell,

And found in the little things life can swell.

Now, the days dance with a gentle grace,

And in the nights, there’s peace and space.

I who bore the burden of the dark,

Now see the light on a purer arc.

For Nicola
