Daylight penetrated

my shadowy life …

Rays of hope

came like prophets …

Angels descended for the good news

proclaiming love … found!

But doubt hovered …

My heart filled with fear

for the doomed value of my youth

and the principles I broke;

for the love found for eternity

that shed light to this

… abandoned spirit …

I may have bridged over sorrow

and crossed the darkness of tunnels …

I may have fought the inevitable

and lost the stupid game they call love …

But then again, I hoped

and my prayer was granted …

He accepted this scorned soul

and embraced the beleaguered woman in me.

Then vows were made …

But hey! Were they from Heaven?

Do I deserve happiness?

Do I deserve love?

Do I deserve him?

He may be the one …

He has to be the one …

Deep in this wounded heart

stream a music that was searching …

for the right note to be struck,

so love would radiate

from the unknown crypt

where I once hid

… from the selfishness of my prey …

Now the chains were broken …

The burden was lifted up;

The love I was once just yearning for

… conquered the fear that blinded me,

And has brought me home

… from that of which I thought

… was my sarcophagus

… of no return …

And now I have known

… what real happiness is …

Yes! It’s in the arms of my husband

… it’s in the warmth of his embrace

… it’s in the song of his silence

… it’s in the melody of his voice

… it’s in the solitude I have found in his gaze

… it’s in the music of his laughter

… it’s in the joy of his love …

Yes! It’s in this man

… that I have found happiness in love …

… at last …
