Set Free

Trapped in the Darkness
I foundered.
Lost.

Would I never see the Light of Day again?

Through the Darkness,
I felt warm rays
Just beyond my grasp.

Stretching, straining toward the Light...I reached out...

Through the Darkness,
The Light reached for me.
Clasping my hand,
Lifting me up,
Pulling me free
To savor the sweet warmth
Of bright Sunshine.
