Dark beauty

Beauty still lives here

Buried under a cover of darkness

As we move deeper into the forest

Of lost dreams

Sheltering under a canopy of trees

That opens to reveal this vast magnificence

Of celestial light

Here at peace

Within the deeply trod leaf strewn

Carpet

Of mother nature’s blessing

I find myself

Drifting into sleep

That brings my restless soul

Relief

From waking torment

And even here

Amidst the wild storm

I find the beauty of your ways

Dear soul

I will not turn away

Anymore

From this place of healing

Because truly

Wounding

Is our deepest blessing

Reminding us of the courage it

Takes

To stay fully awake

In the midst of dying

And to nourish hope

Even as darkness

Seems to eclipse

The rising of the solar light

For darkness

Sometimes

Will lie

Leading us to believe

The way to those mystical depths

Of dark beauty are lost

When most truly

They

Are not

For beauty is only

Taking time

To reveal itself

Hidden deep

Inside

The mystery!
