Renewed Hope

I open my eyes
New life is breathed into my body
My lungs expand
I am being lifted out of the dark abyss
The pain and hurt are gone
A sheer sense of exhiliration consumes my body
I am being lifted higher and higher
Until I feel I can go no further
And yet still I am lifted higher
Am I in heaven?Is this eternal bliss?
No you have just restored my faith
Because a life without love
Is a life without hope.
