Weak light

For so long

Weak light is all there was

Sometimes darker

Sometimes lighter

Then the earthquake happened

It squeezed and it squeezed

It took so long

It pained me but I did not cry

And the light changed

So much light

Blinding

So much space

Vastness

No confines of comfort

I look but I can't see

The world is blurred

I do not move

But I am moved

Softness and warmth

I blink

And then I see

Eyes that match mine
