After years of running away from the past

Countless nights worrying about the future.

Today I finally found my peaceful place

In the warm glory of your radiant smile.

My heart, stunned by the blows life struck

Had forgotten how to gently float in joy.

Till the glistening twinkle in your eyes

Radiated like electricity through my body.

For once, neither shame nor fear haunt me

I feel like I have achieved the pinnacle again.

Perhaps this wandering soul, after a decade

Has finally reached the destination it sought.
