A dark place

Sometimes it seems an impossible task

To move from the dark place

When that darkness is all we have ever known

It takes a deep journey to light the spark

Of consciousness

For this precious moment

There is a light shining

It comes into view when you remember

The truth of love

Even as you see

All of the lovelessness within

and surrounding you

There are lessons there for you

About how to make it through

And how to understand

What brings the healing warmth and light

To the cold and dark

There will always be a place where

Your heart is embraced tenderly

And this love you feel will bring a solution

To all that makes you cold or ache or enter those

At times seemingly bottomless pits

Of soul loneliness

So be the one who can find the path

That leads you through the dark

For when you know the truth of love

You will understand that only love

Can bring the healing light

To reveal the wisdom of your soul

That will remain concealed

Until you listen to and then shed

This burden of loveless
