I wait now so impatient on the day
When all my joys and sorrows can unite
And all that I endeavour now, or say
Eschews this darkness here, embraces light
I wandered once within these halls so bleak
I sought to find my strength through conquering fear
And all the half-truths, hidden I would speak
Obscured the deeper truths that I revere
But in denial find no guard from pain
And in pretense no armoury is found
I saw then that the freedom I would gain
Could only through self-knowledge here abound
So through my shadow side may I embrace
The balance that is sometimes known as grace.

Thank you so much Estella – this generosity means so very much. I don’t probably have time this weekend to do the nomination justice by following all the rules, so perhaps just a very big thank you for your continued support which is so very much appreciated might do? 🙂
