Epiphany

of clouds

All this time

Trying to grasp clouds from the past

Clinging to a broken lifeline

I didn't realize what I had at last

So focused was I on a winter

I didn't know I was in spring

My heart, reduced to cinders

Now burns wildly and sings

I didn't realize when I stopped shivering

When I finally wiped my tears

The ground wasn't quivering

And for the first time in years

I finally realized I wasn't sitting in the rain

I was sitting in the house

The house I feel sane and insane

I didn't have to lose to realize what I have

So I'll stop feeling sad

And enjoy being free

Because you've all got the best of me.
