I remember those nights
When your skin touched mine
And there was only the thinnest whisper of a breeze
Separating our souls
I see now
How the demons of darkness
Were summonded up
By the love and longing
We felt in those intimate moments
Of connection and tenderness
And of the life that was trying to blossom
Out of the wasteland of past pain
Two souls we were
Both haunted in different ways
By our past
And we struggled so hard
Not to shatter those tenuous threads
That were forming between us
But which tore apart
Leaving us bleeding
From old injuries
Where they attached to original wounds
Separation was the cut
The made me bleed
The blood that gave birth to
A child
Who hungered and ached
So restlessly for a love once given
Then stolen
Leaving us lost in torment
So now forgiveness arises
Out of this wreckage
As I see the futility of it all
Paying homage to the restless desire that sought for healing
Of a wound that lay for so long
Buried deep inside
Now summoned up for understanding
Sadly our demons
Ended up
Tearing us apart
But now my demons have shown me
What way lies healing
Emerging From The Dark Night 
Your writing is always such a deep and meaningful read. Full of soul, beauty and the agony that all us humans call our day to day existence.

I do believe it as well. Hope should fuel us, drive and inspire us. Knowing it’s up to us shouldn’t discourage us, it should steel us.
