Awaken

It was dark, yet the sun was out

There was despair, yet I smiled

Isolated, yet I had friends

Trapped, yet I was mobile

I was part of the living dead, surviving and wandering along the path well-traveled

It must have been destiny that made me turn to see him on the unbeaten path

Courageously exploring the unknown

Boldly adventuring and laughing along with chance

Living

He was alive

As his gaze met mine, nature’s wind blew me out of my path

In a panic of emotions and passion, he extended his hand

With a smile, he illuminated my soul

Awaken

I started my journey
