I was blinded
before I left

Now I am lost-
trying to find my way back

Back to a place where I was happy
To a place where there was familiarity

I need your light
to lead me back home

You shone it in my eyes for so long
and now- when I need that lantern

It's dark

Laura, Laura, Laura.  This is such a sad but beautiful work.  It starkly illustrates the way that so many people have of, after being blinded again and again by the light of love, call for that same light to overcome their dazzled blindness.  Use the light within, girl, and that will always bring you home.
Go well
Jim

Thank you... that is what I am working on... Being in the same town as my lighthouse makes things difficult... especially one of my 'friends' is a ship he is leading to shore
