I look back in wonder
at how I used to be
At my life untethered,
blown about like the waves of the sea.
Happiness I did find,
fleeting and deceiving.
Amplified in solitude were the
Knives, into my heart, plunging.
Unknown to me, patiently
waiting, was the loyal One.
So willing to forgive,
Comfort, till I had no more need to run.
Into the arms of Protection,
Love itself. Anxiety
taken away, and then brought
Peace like a river, forever to stay.
