You

You are my Light

You found me in the darkness

Took my hand and led me out

To a place where I could again feel

The warmth of the sun on my face

And see the beauty in all that surrounds me

You are my peace

Your presence calms the chaos in my mind

And stills the voice that forever screams “why”

You bring my world into clear focus

And show me my soul’s redemption

You are my joy

You unlocked the chains that bound my heart

And pointed me toward freedom

Stripping off my gown of mourning

Allowing me to run in resplendent nakedness

You are my mirror

Enchanted and true

Gently showing the flaws and imperfections

Without judgment

Encouraging change yet marveling at the beauty

Of battle won scars; my badges of courage and strength

You are my treasure

You laid gifts at feet

Not pretty baubles, nor gold and costly perfumes

Gifts more precious than the wealth of the world

You gave me back my life
