Alive Again Poem by Fiona Davidson

Shattered lives rebuilt
Friends used as props
To hold us as we climb
Exuberance returns slow
Colour floats back in again
Gradual the world turns
Each becomes adventure
As hands hold out strength
Birds sing and fly the skies
People move through vision
Not sudden realization now
Just a gentle slide back in
To melting emotions felt
Heart begins to look around
And the earth supports our feet
As we give thanks to all
Who's patience has enfolded
This journey of discovery
Inside ourselves once more
