      Until There Was You!

Just beyond the vast shipwreck
  of my life and dreams,
in that lost and self-consuming
nether-world of blackest woes,
I became a forlorn wandering
shade with only darkness stuck
  to my soul,
forsaken by all like a memory
far too easily forgotten,
until there was you
who taught me to live, hope,
love, and dream anew.

             --- b. e. adams (5/19/2014)

This made me smile for its possibilities of  reminding one that we can relearn how to live, hope, love and dream.
