the longing for light

Heavy skies loom

In the collective people are struggling

To bear with the intensity of the times

And on the radio there are talks on advocacy

Self expression and post traumatic growth

So much of this journey takes place

In deep silence

There are the long nights when you feel

Energies swirl

As the cells within your being are re-arranged

Talk of cosmic shifts and solar flares

Head pressure and tears

And then the words

Ascension

But what can we escape

What is it we are

‘rising above?’

And then love will break through

To the surface from deep within

In the most unexpected moments

At times this earthly world

Seems so dark

And loneliness bites at our heels

As we seek any kind of comfort and understanding

That we can

So as dusk falls

Taking us deeper and deeper into silence

I close my eyes

As I feel their orbit turn in upon my soul

Some nights the sky just hangs so heavy

With clouds

Some evenings my whole being

Just vibrates

With the longing for

Light
