Inside the dark

In the darkness I find my way

To the depths of me

A place where I am no longer all alone

Here in the dark lives a power of love

That is more than willing to

Throw its arms around me

To embrace the truth

The outside world

So often tries to kill

So what if I am on the outside here

In a wilderness

Where I am free?

There is a sadness surely

For those I had to pass

Along the road

Or let go

When holding on so tight

Began to strangle life

But there is also infinite comfort here

And a sense of joy

That rose up from the embers of untruths

That had to burn to ash

In order for my heart to light

The spark

That always resides here

Deep inside the dark
