PUFF

I felt a puff within my heart
that blew away the sadness
that had come to dwell with me.
It wasn’t answered  prayer
for I’d not prayed for  it to go away.
In fact, I think i clung to it
and felt were it to leave
I’d be disloyal to my memories.
Beyond the gloom came rescue
that I never sought
and wondered how it came to be
and what I’d do without the pain.
