CELEBRATION OF LIFE


The mist clears

The opaqueness gone

She walks into the meadow

Arms stretched to the sky

After many years of not seeing

Her world becomes free

She is open to the new

The wonderment of life

The trees surround her

But do not confine or limit

They merely embrace

All that was a prison is removed

In him she finds happiness

In herself she finds peace and confidence

First she learned to love

And now she loves

The bounds of youth taken away

Thrown out are the misconceptions

The disdain desire

Now all of life is celebrated
