Excuse My Silence

Something happened
Good things
I never expected
My silence
Surrounded me
And I waited until
The shadows
Came back
Like they
Always do

But the
Universe shifted
Hope
Not just a word anymore
It washes over me
With sunlight spilling
In through the open window
Of my soul
That's been waiting for
This moment

I sit here
Reveling
Cherishing
This feeling
