you carry light into the darkness.
a soft glow
radiant beauty
fiery passion
fully present but
desiring to run
afraid of the dark
you choose to stay
and then a whisper
"light dispels darkness"
you carry hope
life imagined
free abundant pure
gold tried in the fire
adversity overcome
wounded heart made whole
you carry dreams
of unimaginable depth
yearning for freedom
peace, joy & love
all else pales in comparrison
to the light in your heart
and yet the question remains:
"will I be swallowed by the darkness?"
NEVER!
the light
that burns in the heart of the beloved
glows eternal
