Return to the Light

I feel my body sigh

As the warmth of the sun

Melts, through that which has

Bound her tightly through

These brutal winter months.

My body held fast

Tight, and ready for battle

As she navigated this

Deep dive into the shadows

Sitting in darkness

Even, when parts of her

Screamed to swim to the light

Even when she yearned for the light

Before she was ready

She held fast.

And now she is ready

And the sun

The sun gently seeps

Through the layers

Of my body

Soothing her

Warming her through

Softening all that held tight

Within her

For this battle, is no more

And she sighs with relief

As she returns to the light.

Love Always ♥️
