sitting in a dark room
considering light
consider the space
and consider our plight
sitting in a valley
way down below
under the mountain
where we might perchance go
from the depths formed by rivers
mountains carved by streams
water through earth delivered
like thoughts left from dreams
no glow in the dark
nor flash in a mist
fully illuminates the possible
only giving a glimpse.
as in dreams or a journey
each explores soft edges of light
and the inside of darkness
holds some insight
revelations anew
portend blessings we are now seeing
to find the illusive
truth of all being
although darkness may comfort
or light warm the soul
held nearest our heart
is love as the goal
love transcends darkness
and compassion illuminates
winding path forward
to heaven’s welcome gates
a gate to goodness we seek
journeys’ guides hold us
in mysterious faith and eternal trust
our seeking emboldens
goodness tumbles out
like rivers to ocean
a true secret shared
all life needs such motion
traveling as drops in a stream
and then life’s winding river
all the hopes in our time
and sorrows delivered
to places of healing
missions of glory
as each one of us
seeks out our own story
