By Catherine The heart drew me here when all had been lost Those words burned my soul -- faith failed my life's cause. Self-concept now gone -- rage came at what cost? Broken, I wept 'til my tears gave me pause-- Not dark nor light, I won't live in a cast. Searching and scouring in all that was naught Was "I" who was then now part of the past? The shadow will beckon to what it has wrought... What can I say? My soul found a new life-- All had been vague -- now it is what I know. Out of the ash, I've emerged from the strife I am who I am -- who I was, she did go. You may not know why I feel I must stay, But then again, that's the way of the grey. |
