Somehow...

Somehow, at last, I am at peace

I wondered if I ever would be.

I have been upset.

I have been trampled.

I have sobbed over others' sadnesses.

I couldn't get out of the mire.

There is lightness now.

Why?

If I only knew that

I would be in charge.

For now I'll enjoy the lightheartedness-

A welcome contrast

From recent days and nights

Of dark despair.
