Between the light and the shadow…

Deep into the forest of despair

I once travelled

Down the many paths of loneliness

I walked

Weighed down by the heaviness

Of my shattered heart

I struggled

Longing for a chance to lay

My broken spirit

Then by chance

I came across a valley

And

In the distance

I saw a golden sky

Its warmth

guided me

To a river so clear

Then I saw you

Stood there by the river bank

Arms stretched out

You called me over

You held my broken body

To your breast

You fixed my broken heart

You washed away the ingrained pain

You quenched my thirst with your kisses

You fed me a diet of love

And when my strength was returned

You helped me to my feet

You made a promise to me then

To keep me from returning

Back to the forest of despair

To be caught

Between the light and the shadow

Five years you’ve kept your promise

No longer do I walk alone

But side by side with you

We now continued to walk

Towards the warmth of the golden sky
