The light came back!

The light that wouldn't come back

Has finally sparked after all these years

The waiting and waiting that I had to endure,

Is finally over.

I was lost in blackness

I couldn't get out

No matter how hard I tried.

Then he came.

He reached out to me

I accepted what he offered,

Friendship.

I no longer need help,

I can stand on my own.

As long as I do not fall again

My light will get stronger,

My world brighter.

The light in my hands

Grows stronger with each passing moment.

The rocks and sounds that were so scary

Are no longer a threat.
