Somehow, at last, I am at peace
I wondered if I ever would be.
I have been upset.
I have been trampled.
I have sobbed over others' sadnesses.
I couldn't get out of the mire.
There is lightness now.
Why?
If I only knew that
I would be in charge.
For now I'll enjoy the lightheartedness-
A welcome contrast
From recent days and nights
Of dark despair.
