The Light

The light shines into this empty heart;
I can feel the clouds beginning to part;
I look into the mirror; seeing my reflection;
I sigh and remember the bitter taste of rejection;
I slowly walk from the mirror to the window;
I begin to cry; letting all those tears flow;
The memories begin to come back with force;
I decided to just let them run their course;
Sometimes I hate the world I’ve been brought into;
Sometimes I wish to just jump into the oceans blue;
The moment I begin to think about the deep cold water;
I begin to think of my infant daughter;
How she was born on a boat in the ocean at night;
How she always is my sunshine, my light;
My tears begin to go away;
Happiness appears once more today;
I look into the mirror; seeing my reflection;
I smile, looking into my own eyes; seeing so much affection;
I mumble; "The clouds have gone away.. this time, they’re gone to stay."
