I recall
leaving in a thunderstorm
toward a world
I had never known
the desperation of strangers
blinded me
from the right path
to take
I wondered . . .
if in their eyes
they recognized
the same hopelessness
in mine
it took so many
many years
to find this new assessment
of myself

Oh I was lost and searching for many years, luminosity, and it was late in my life, October 2009, that it all came together. Thank you for your kind words.
