Somewhere

Somewhere out long the horizon

A light is shining

That speaks of

Hope rising from the ashes

A hope

You lost the way to

Do not tarry here too long

Amidst the sad stories of these families

Full of dysfunction

This is not the place your soul

Could ever feel at home

Have you not yet grown

Bone weary

Of that painful old story

An empty tale of soullessness

That turns to ashes

In the mouth of the teller?

Instead open yourself completely

To the joy of spring

Embrace the glistening of that

Inner sunrise that dawns

As you turn to face

A new possibility

God knows there is suffering enough

In this life

To fill a billion volumes

But to find that inner ecstasy

To fully embrace

The hopeful dawn

Is that not what our souls

At depth are always

Longing for

After all of these painful tales

Of shattering heart break

Have been

Said and done?
