Turned to Stone

The pain is too large
It radiates in my bones.
The darkness is so deep
I’m curled up all alone.

I long to see the sun
To heal and warm my pain;
I’d even settle for clouds
or sheets of pouring rain.

In this dark cold room
Where all my hope is lost,
I sit so very still
Knowing this has a cost.

Slowly the door opens,
A shaft of sunlight comes in;
Hesitantly I crawl out,
Now my healing can begin.

In plaster, wood and wax
I lay my broken life down,
Realizing with each small step,
I’ve finally come into my own.

Find the Sunshine

Go swiftly my inner child;
You have survived.
Find the sunshine that beams down
With all of your pride.

Let the past be honoured;
Your healing has begun.
Once again they have lost;
You have finally won.
