The fall had the potential to kill.
To take life, make it pointless, even end it.
Darkness crept into the smallest remaining corners of life,
Leaving no trace of hope and happiness.
An empty hole left that nothing can fill.

A flash, a sudden change, comparable to the light seen
At the end of life.
A comforting Light. A peaceful Light. A joyful Light.
A Light that brought reassurance and pure happiness.

Love radiated from the Light.
Unquestionable, undeniable, unreasonable love.
Acceptance, kindness, helpfulness, sympathy, trust.
All the qualities of a long-lasting friendship.

The fall still hurts.
A deep hurt, but it heals faster and faster each day.
This Love will last a lifetime, even extend into eternity.
This Love will never leave.

I feel the Light’s love surround me,
Even when I feel alone and do not think I can carry on.
When I am upset and hurt,
The Light finds a way to fill my innermost being until
I am completely joyous.

I love the Light, and the Light loves me.
I am starting to realize
That all I need is the Light and Love.
