Awakened

Awakened "Silence fills all the spaces between the soft flutter of fragile butterfly wings. There one second and then gone, the faint breeze in a syncopated song. As twilight gatherers the dark corners close, I hear the haunted lament of tormented ghosts. Living in this wilderness on my own, the land and sky, mine alone. For who else could enter, get inside my head? Unless I allow entry through eyes now dead. No light shines forth, only milky white dark. The lament I hear is mine, in part… So, Cry for your losses! Weep for times past! Tear your clothes! Cover your head with ash! Moan and scream to the gathering night. Don't take this pain without a fight. Much good it does, no, none at all. At the edge of my mind, I take the leap and fall…. Into strong waiting arms, I am lifted up… Sanity returns, filling my once empty cup. I'm given the key to unlock the door, And the hope to believe there's so much more! Never alone, never forsaken, the sun rises on this new life...awakened!"

With "Sanity returns, filling my once empty cup," the poem beautifully portrays the restoration of the speaker's mental and emotional well-being. The "key to unlock the door" symbolizes newfound freedom and the ability to move forward, while the hope for a better future shines through in "the sun rises on this new life...awakened." , this poem eloquently navigates the path from isolation and despair to hope and renewal.

Ahhh yes, hope restores and renews. I believe your child will return to the land of the living. All our pains and sorrows will be forgotten in the new world to come - Isaiah 65:17
