Awakening

Tracy DeLuca
Awakening from a darkness
light peeking
through the curtains
I had drawn about my soul.

Stretching and striving
to reclaim
to recover
to rekindle
the woman I am
amidst the life I now lead.

Discovering and discarding
pieces
portions
parts
of a life that no longer
fits who I am.

Awakening from a darkness
light streaming
through the curtains
I have drawn away from my heart.
