My mind was beyond reason,

Captured by the existence of hurt.

.

My soul was a deer in the rearview mirror,

Wandering endlessly until I found a feast.

.

All the colors of the world gathered

At the corners of my eyes.

.

All the music landed close to my heart

And made me want to cross the mountains.

.

Hope was all I knew.

Like the trees in the season of Spring, it grew.
