Dark Home Coming

It was so very dark!
On snow did think;
Through fear pondered;
Anything but the dark,
But what else was there?
It all seemed baneful;
The rain and lighting;
All clouds like a villain!
Every night was alike;
Jokes were gone and so
Was happiness; for those
Few very short days I
Dreaded with passion;
Completely lost was I!
On thought and confusion;
From childish feelings
Made whole; fallen dreams
Were so very strong in
Those days of youthful
Insecurities and anger;
