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.
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
