Free Again To Live

My heart reaches out to You,
I weep in loneliness,
I long for sleep.

Days tasks not even done,
yet I think of Your warmth,
I close my eyes and dream.

How I long for my inner self,
the one that has strayed.
Am I ever to find again - myself?

All that has passed by me
so recently has faded
to dim despair, inner agony.

Dreams for life so far from grasp
aching for that carefree way
that once was mine.

Oh, for tomorrows, forever filled
with new born spirit
free again - to live.
