Behind the barricade
My feelings for you lay
Quietly sleeping
Like an old dog
Grown tired of sneaking morsels
Aching in his being
For the way back to the life
He had to forget
Along the path of remembering
And so
If lately
I find myself
Surprised by love
As light grows in my soul
Along with the happy memories of being alive
I had to hide
Because death exerted such a powerful hold
Upon my soul
Then this radiance will
In time
Unbind me from the sadness
Release me from the insanity
Of this half life
Suspended paralysis
As I emerge fighting
All guns blazing
Held fast inside the eye of a tornado
Bursting open within
The heart of a fire storm
For I do not want
To fear for my life
Any more
Emerging From The Dark Night 
I see lots of positive vibes in this poem Deb, and especially the concluding piece..
“Unbind me from the sadness
Release me from the insanity
Of this half life
Suspended paralysis
As I emerge fighting
All guns blazing
Held fast inside the eye of a tornado
Bursting open within
The heart of a fire storm
For I do not want
To fear for my life
Any more”

Im getting there I hope Ivor so sad to see where trauma and loss took me. And to feel its depths but I hope my heart is finally being liberated. Thanks for reading and commenting.
