The Way Home

the journey from darkness
into light
doesn't seem so far
when I'm with you
in you I see the part of me
that's lost
or only hiding
I see the me I want to be
and for awhile I thought I'd
never see
a midmorning reflection
of my heart emerging
from the darkness
like a sunrise
some downward transcendental
requiem had played for me
because I couldn't see
the way home
but the journey's not so far
when I'm with you.
