I set out, alone and wandering without you,
but I could feel you inside me.
Out into the world to suffer the crisis after crisis,
trauma after trauma, and to begin again, and again…
I kept looking, I kept searching again and again
with nothing but homesickness to guide me.
But I was determined to find you.
And so I searched the skies for the stars
your eyes would have seen too, I looked to the moon,
could you see it tonight?
Empty and incomplete, my heart missing pieces
that I filled with anger, and hatred.
But I believed in your love by Faith,
and so I continued until the silence fell around me,
until that day that I always hoped could come,
like the answers I so desperately needed, the light
breaking over me like the Dawn.
And finally that search was over and I killed that hate
and anger within those missing pieces,
and put you back in them, almost like new.
The search hardened me, and I still bear those scars
that you know so well, but the victory still heals me
as we now walk together in gratitude and love.
