Light Within the Darkness

I have seen the darkness

I have felt the cold chill of its touch

I’ve stood there frozen in times past

While feeling my life force

Slowly drained away

I remember feeling lost

Everything so bewildering

When all was seemingly irretrievably lost

I felt the faintest glimmer of hope

A gentle light within

Spoke softly above the din

And all of the darkening thoughts went silent

Suddenly I heard the whispers

That were always meant for me

Like a strong hand ready

To lift me up and out

I surrendered

And found myself born anew

In a place where sunlight

And moonlight converged

And the deepest of love

Caused ripples on the water

And mountains to shake

Gently it spoke – Awaken dear soul

You have arrived

You mastered your way through the gates of pain

Your wounds surrendered

For the light of love

Arise Dear Soul

Awaken dear soul

Remember yourself dear one

Its time now to go
