today I found all the hope
I thought I had lost
in my daughter's eyes

as her voice carried through tears
we met at the place 
 in-between
both realizing we had lost
how to communicate
with each other
for far too long

the only way through
was to walk on this unsteady bridge
of the hurt we had been keeping inside
from missing each other

grief can be so lonely

she told me that sometimes
my dark was too much for her
and I told her the darkness
is where I find all the answers
I need to know

so I brought her along with me
so we could both find
what we needed to know
together

we saw that we
were both changing and growing
but pretending that things
could still be the same

we needed to see each other
in the present
so she walked through
the darkness with me
and I  saw her confidence begin
to shine again

we saw ourselves as we had been
and how we were now
this showed us how to see
one another again

mother/daughter
yin /yang

I passed my torch
so she could be the light
she needed to be
and I promised her
in the dark she could always
find me

to see things from
her perspective
as long as she could be
brave enough
to speak her truth

she went to sleep
with a warm glow

in the dark i sit awake
crying in release
for this reunion has been
​long awaited

the sun and moon
just aren't the same 
​without each other
