emerging
it’s not until
I’m emerging
blinking into the light
that I realise
how tense
the darkness is
how I’ve been
holding my breath
wound tight
rigid
while the world
swirled around me
and now
for no good reason
it’s gone
and muscles rest
languorously
luxuriating in this
peace
The peace when you emerge from darkness can be so wonderful
It is – I guess you appreciate it more when you’ve been missing it for a while
Yes you do. I know that one form experience.
I agree with Suzy blue.. very much so!!
You describe the feeling so well.
Thanks. It’s a shame that so many people recognise this feeling, but at least we have understanding of eachother
