from across the ocean i've returned home
weary and hurt by terrible
storm
with heart still beating and hope much alive
needing yet a while to
rest and heal
where that dark night dissolved all direction
now I see beckoning
friends holding candles
where the loud storm broke my hearing
now from my
quiet place I hear your welcoming
within my melancholy are safe soft shades of grey
beyond me stark sunlit
scenes overwhelm the senses
in my heart where you would come is still dark
storm
yet there also arrives the loving light of your candle
wait a while for me on the near shore
soon to celebrate life as we well
remember
