So I found myself,
It took many years to do,
Pain
and tragedy,
Haunted me through and through.
I hurt with a pain,
No man should have to bear,
I was trapped
in agony,
Pain and despair.
Every day was unending sorrow,
And I feared I could not face t’morrow.
Life
was but a shape,
Loneliness more than I could take.
I had loved with all I had,
I cried so many tears,
Lost,
empty and sad.
It was there in my darkest moment,
I felt a voice so quiet.
It felt like a dream coming into the
light.
A soft touch that held out its hand,
It was the memory of our love in me
And it filled my mind with tranquility.
So
it seems she saved a heart,
Even though we are apart,
With this simple memory here in the dark.
I found myself,
Right
there and then,
I knew I had to love again.
He will never read these words,
And so my pain is my own,
But
as I look up, I see I have grown.
I am not the girl who once was,
I was more than my history,
I found myself,
even in that misery.

Winter Moonlight
The snow, so
peaceful and serene,
caressed by the soft moonlight,
gave magical feelings to the night.
The soft blue glow,
the
lovers' words that then did flow,
their lips closer and closer
until, locked in the throes
of a passionate embrace,
he
decided to express his feelings,
to keep her safe.
He whispered softly,
his words like music to her ears,
"I
Love You,"
and her response the same,
heard like the gentle breeze,
"And I, love you, forever."
That was the
night they promised
to be together through everything,
each to care for the other when old and gray
A lovers' pact
the
most likely to last.
