Then… There Be Silence

Our world can be dark, but there is light. Our world can be chaotic, but there is peace. I have found that the light and peace are always there, and all we have to do is turn toward them and focus on them. Too many souls quit the search and refuse to turn away from the chaotic darkness. I wish it wasn’t so.

There Be Silence

 

Naked she arrives… wailing

A soul… somatic… and helpless

A spirit… merely passing through

 

Yearning at once to depart

The seamless darkness that is this earth

Ever seeking… the light

 

Tethered… against her wishes

Between heaven and hell

In this chaos called life

 

Enticed… by valueless riches

Yet, giving in to none

Yearning… for elusive peace

 

Rushing… like a long black train

Screaming… through a dark tunnel

Toward the light… at its end

 

And then… there be silence
