Found

Finding me was easy
Surprise
I never for a second thought
it would be

How long had I been lost?
Like Mr Browning's answer
"Only God knows"

No, I do know, it is just difficult
to admit
Years of denial
lost where? Myriads of places
deep, dark, drowning
surfacing only occasionally
allowing my tentative voice
to be heard, and then
diving back down to safety
or oblivion

Finding me was easy
It did take courage, I
had it stored up ready
Finding me was easy, although
the terrain is strange, it feels comfortable, so comfortable

I cannot go back, submerge
my new awakened spirit
I have new countries to
discover, things to do, people
to meet,
A voice to be heard

Finding me was easy

Losing you is hard.
