When darkness visits, I am in pain.
Light seems to disappear.
My body and mind feel burdened with
Thoughts and emotions,
Fighting within my being,
Wanting to tell their story.
My being seems tossed about
Like a small boat on a roaring river.
Not knowing how to step out,
There is fear of drowning.
Not knowing how to proceed,
There is fear of the Unknown.
I call for help.
Something within is listening and responding.
A gentle reminder is here.
I am Stillness.
No boat. No river.
No stepping out. No going forward.
No thoughts. No emotions.
All is passing through me.
All is coming and going.
I am.
The burden lifts,
Joy is here.
The inner light illuminates my being.
In gratitude to the darkness for showing me
What I am not.
In gratitude to the inner Light for showing me
What I am.
In deepest gratitude to the true voice within
For showing me again and again the
Love
That I truly am.
