Most people choose only to see and hear
The shiny and pretty.
They do not wish to recognize the hidden and
Miserable
Torments of the human soul,
When the only way to to conquer the darkness within
Is to drag it out into awareness
And watch it wither into
Nothing
As it is exposed to the
Light of Love.
It does not matter how you find your way into the light.
Crawl
Tiptoe
Leap
Walk
Dance
Just do it.
On broken wings I fly.
On broken wings I fall.
On broken wings I cry,
Then I begin to crawl.
Nothing will ever stop me.
It may just slow me down.
Nothing can hold me back
Even down here
On the ground.
I feel my breath fading.
I wonder how I got so low.
I feel my soul cringing.
My heart begins to slow.
I lift my head,
I see it.
A glimmer under the door.
A light I would have never seen
If I had not been crawling on
The floor.
One day
I realized
If I slept too long
I would miss the moments
When the world was quiet.
I would miss
Beauty awakening
And
The first gentle caress of
Light in my world.
I would miss
The silent whisper of the day saying
“Here I am in all my glory just for you. Use me up until there is nothing left.”
