Something strange
happened today,

Well, it wasn’t
strange, but it felt so today.

For one, I laughed,
and I had real fun,

Not just escape, but
real, true, fun and happiness

And more than that, I
felt a spark of my old self, deep down under the surface.

In fact, I could be
wrong,

But I almost thought
I caught a glimpse of my old Faith in God today.

I cannot see joy now,
and I still know not how far off my old light may be,

But this day was
different,

This day, saw a
light, a friendly press back towards past dwellings

A felt something I
hadn’t felt in so long,

Something that had
been broken and buried,

Smashed, sealed away
by the pain and darkness,

But now I have seen
it,

and in seeing it, I
see hope in striving towards it.
