Solitary Splendor

Alone, Ashamed,
Feelings of failure and unworthiness wash over me
in waves of complete despair and utter hopelessness

Alone,
Isolated,
Who will love me? Who would bridge the gap?
Who will come and make me feel whole again?

Wait!
Through a mist of tears, broken emotions, and shattered hopes,
I see a form emerging.

Who is this person?
I do not know recognize her
And yet,
She seems vaguely familiar to me.

As time passes and the mist slowly begins to clear,
The form becomes more discernable.

She is beautiful!
A creature of fiery passion and tender emotion
Made in the image of the Divine Creator of all and
Richly blessed by Him with many gifts
Lit from within by love for God, music, all life and the world around her.

Who is this creature?

The mist has cleared.
It is myself.

Alone,
Yes
But, no longer despairing
In solitary splendor, I reflect on the past and await what is yet to come.
