Leaving a space,
Entering another
Being amazed,
Seeing a brother

Keeping afloat,
Remembering a mother
Staying calm,
Feeling grace

Walking out,
Remembering a purpose
Choosing a pen,
Putting down a sword

What served me,
Does no longer
What returned to me,
Makes me stronger

A life found, 
A purpose restored
A lesson acknowledged,
And a craving abandoned
