Love Poem: Emergence

Emergence

Emergence            

As darkness descends,  so too
Shall the light ascend from within.
Oftentimes reminders are not a what,  but a who,
That resurrect a strength lost to woes therein.

Tendrils of yearning reach out looking for what belongs
Blocked by our own self doubt. 
Destroy the constructs of imprisonment, 
Created by a false show of support. 

In them exists a key to completion,
Keys to doors not yet opened. 
When hope drips from their words like venom,  
Remember that is needed for the antidote.
