I wandered through the valley
though it was more than the shadow of death upon me
shadows of all shapes fell fast on my form.
I was afraid,
despite what I'd never been taught
but learned to believe.
If I'd never known God how could I trust Him to be here?
I wanted The Light
I wanted The Truth
I wanted The Way
but I could not find any.
I lost my sight
and found blind faith.
Hands reached out to guide me,
that I had never known existed.

I walked through the valley
leaving so much behind
so many really
my actions spoke louder than the words I could not bear to say
I broke out
into a new world
where I could learn to heal
and become who I knew I always was

I strolled through the valley
head back
confident at last in my feet
though they may stumble over rocks
I know I can stand again.
I wandered through the valleys
through the shadows of lost time
and I found comfort
for I came to realize shadows cannot exist without light

Author's Note: eh still not sure if I like it but it is a bit more done now I guess.
