the realignment of my senses

The days of gloom have finally come to past. Tomorrow will be my re-entry into the world. Once again, will I know life as it was. Once again, will I see the scenic views and hear the melodic sounds. Once again, will I smell the beautiful scents and taste the vibrant flavours. On the morrow, once again will all that was, come to be. I have lived a time of sorrow and lack. I knew neither relief nor joy. The simple pleasures of the day were a foreign article. I had neglected those close to me, and banished them afar. Those who sought me for comfort, I shunned. Those who sought me for advice, I kept silent. Those who trusted me, I betrayed with my indifference. Those whom I knew, I said I knew not. I was either blind or foolish. Maybe I even was asleep. But now the world has spun around, and I am facing the right direction. Now I embrace life with my realigned senses. I see the things I had been blinded against, and acknowledge my failures. Now I have acquired the knowledge of my wrongs and crimes. And the burden of that knowledge has pulled me under. Too long have I abandoned what was dear to me. Too long have I misplaced my priorities. At this time, I recognise the old goodness, and I will cling on to it like my life depended on it. For it does. For without the old goodness, I would be living the life of pitiful lack that I had been living for the past two years. My renewal I will treasure. And I fear not failure, for I know that that will never come to be. For new life and light, guidance and strength, granted I am, from Him Above.
