What Next

I have rejoiced

In the conquest over my soul

Won by the most patient,

Most loving,

Most merciful Victor

of them all!

My image had become faceless

My body of course…

Spineless.

I had fought all I could.

Then,

I laid my weapons down.

Pride was first

Then Anger, 

oooh those bitter tears.

And finally,

my fears.

What next?

Would life make me its home?

Would love?

Would peace?

What next?

My body.

This vessel was nowhere near full

But a divine spirit is now poured into it each day.

I have sensation in my fingertips again.

When i touch people, 

i feel them.

My heart IS a room.

When i love people,

I carry them there

Everywhere.

What next?

More!

More smiles

More laughs

More joy

After tears.

This is worth it, So-so worth it!
