REUNION

This piece will always be close to my heart as it couldn't have come to me at a better time, or rather, a worse time. I haven't written anything in a long time and it was beginning to worry me. Here are all my worries happily erased.

I uncage you
As guilt bathes me down.
By dirt and neglect
Your body is now adorned.

Delicately I feed you.
A sinner I have been
To have kept you jailed.
Not to be felt, not to be seen.

I put you to canvas.
You stutter,
I cringe.
I coax you gently
And the magic begins.

Realization hits me.
A fool I have been
For the exile was mine
And the rest, now I gleam.

You are my crutch,
I a cripple.
You're a prized possession,
My glorious pinnacle.

You are my parachute
A beautiful thing.
My most loyal companion
For as long as I live.
