My Love, My Hope, My Light
by Embry Jacobs
I feel like I've been wandering,
with my head down and no where to go.
No direction, hopeless and scared,
nowhere to rest my weary soul.
I think I will sit here awhile,
and rest my aching feet.
I am growing so very weak now,
walking these lonely streets.
It seems like I've been walking,
searching for something I cannot find.
My shadow right behind me,
starting to play tricks on my mind.
I start to talk to my shadow,
as she is my only friend.
She listens to me faithfully,
and criticizes as only she can.
I lay my head down for I need to rest,
bundled up in a corner so tight.
Slowly drifting off to a better place,
when I am blinded by a brilliant light.
The light was white and searing,
but did not hurt my eyes.
Growing brighter and faster,
What is this wondrous shine?
It was the brightest light I had ever seen,
I knew it wasn't there to hurt or harm
It felt like I was being embraced,
very loving, caring and warm.
I reached out toward the light,
and amazingly I felt touched.
I knew I was being rescued from sorrow,
finally feeling love and security that I needed so much.
Wanting and needing to feel embraced,
I opened my eyes and arms.
Wanting to feel the love of the light,
flooding my body with compassion and warmth.
A calm came over me,
when I was embraced by the light.
I knew somehow I was going to be okay,
that everything was going to be alright.
For now I have felt hope, love and strength,
a bright, shining new path for me has been shown.
I feel so alive and my spirit reborn,
with such magnitude I've never known.
