There is a light

There is a light

 

There is a light within my darkened heart,

a glowing ember, a faint tiny spark,

just warm enough to melt the icy shell

encasing a lonely, self-imposed Hell.

As wholeness begins, almost overnight

there is a light.

 

Burn passion back into a dying flame,

explore all, new territory to claim

as the past is consumed by what could be

a roaring fire, illuminating me

as slowly I emerge from my dark night,

there is a light.

Air

Air

 

I am essential

but always intangible

felt by resistance

 

a strange balance

fury and caressing calm

moving all the time

 

my voice can be heard

through everything I touch

only through echoes

 

listen, can you see

the colors I paint within

my quiet passing

Earth

Earth

 

solid and grounded

an immovable center

a firm foundation

 

my security

in a fluid changing world

that pushes and pulls

 

a reminder of

my source and destination

living in between

 

sometimes it’s enough

to reconnect with myself

and learn to stand firm
