I am feeling a good sadness tonight
A healing sadness
A healthy shedding
But a sadness none the less
At the way I denied myself
Tonight I feel the light within me
That was stronger than all of their darkness
And it is painful to see
How desperately
I struggled to be seen
When you see truths others do not want to see
You will not always be welcome
And even a lonely solitude is preferable to
A superficial joining
That requires the denial of yourself
In a crowd of souls
Scared to face the deep alone
But this burden you carry
Lay it down
Its far too heavy darling
Even though these are the burning times
Leave your funeral pyre behind
Raise your face to the light
Unfurl your wings and fly
To the place where you are fully welcomed
And known
The inky silent deep
Is so comforting
And surely the angels and God
Deeply understand
The healing found
In the deep alone
Emerging From The Dark Night
