In the darkness so deep

In this darkness so deep

I will dig down and down

Until I find the light obscured and longed for

When the going gets tough

And I feel most alone

I will consciously try to remember

There is a place called home

At times it may seem like a place so very far from earth

At other times it may be secretly and suddenly revealed

As afternoon light shines in

Illuminating patterns on the Persian carpet

At times the thunder clouds roll in

And thoughts of emptiness and doom

Haunt the weary soul

And yet

Even though we may not then see the sun

And its absence hurts

I do believe

That somewhere deep within

Lies a light

That keeps burning and yearning

A light which can never be

Fully extinguished

No matter what comes
