Escape from Darkness

O, what joy I feel,
I truly am free,
never to touch dark water's edge again.
Like Spring, warm and soft,
     flowing,
     delight!
Like a firefly
on a midsummer's night.
With a hint of this
and a sparkle of that,
light as a feather
floating on the air.
Contentment at last envelops me- Happiness,
the home of my heart.
