Emerging From The Dark

I feel a little like a flower that has lain dormant during the cold, dark months of the winter, locking away all of the energy that suffused me during the summer months and keeping it safe until the warmth from the first rays of spring sunshine reach down into the dark.

The promise of new light, of new life, triggers within me a desire to leave my confines and struggle towards the surface. With every passing day, I feel stronger, more energised. Finally, after what seemed an eternity in the dark, I break free and I feel the warmth of the sun on my face.
