Found Again
The clouds still roil overhead
angry and demented as a threatened mother with her cubs
the darkness still pulls in
everchanging the demons within it
but through the thrashing crashing seas
I can see a beam of light stretching forcefully out
peeling the dark and angry sky back and away
and though you gave a darkness unknown to my life
I can stand in that beam of sun
laughing at the way I thought my head would fall below the tide
snickering at my folly of only days before
and I can thank you now for that final step towards doom
because you spun my head far enough around to see what lay beneath the roiling world
far enough to see through the shadows
and what I found was me
the same me who traveled those paths before
barely worse for wear
yet smarter for the dream
and still bouncing along my steps
without a need for you
