After the Storm

After the Storm

Written by: Mary Cunningham

The light shines through
From where I’ve been hiding
Storm is over
New life waiting

Hands reach down
To lift me back up
All I had to do was ask
And they came running

They run from behind the shadows
Of my garden
That is deep inside
Dancing, singing, laughing
Boys, girls, men and women
Where all goodness and faith reside

Some animals too
Wolf, Butterfly, Lion, Spider
All lining up to meet
The one who guides her

Sitting on a patch of new grass
Looking down on the flowers
That bloom beautiful now from
That well

Look and see all who have come for me
To guide me through the shadows
Once shackled, now free

End of the path
Shadows blend into light
Goddess with arms wide open
Waiting for me

For I am the goddess
And she is me
The One who will guide me,
Protect me, nurture me and love me

From this beauty I no longer hide
And when it comes to finding answers
I go inside
