Happy Easter

My loving light,

set to music up above,

swirling warmth

that wanted me to find you.

I need you in my life.

I tried living my own way

and set my soul in dangerous motion,

ended up lost in darkness

drowning in the bottom

of booze bottles

and broken relationships.

Without you,

I watched the sun rise every day

and prayed for it to burn me.

I wanted my body to feel

the pain of my heart,

and share its damned existence.

But now I'm walking a path

filled with promise and joy

because I know you're with me

like you said you'd be,

if I opened myself to you.
