Castle

I clasp my fingers together
Before my eyes can even open
As rays of a new beginning
Are inviting me in
And I pray
And I thank
That you are no longer
Everything I am
That I am now more
Than that of a year ago
I have more to offer myself
Than a few grey bricks
I am an entire castle
All on my own
