Darkness I hold close to you
I will no longer run
From what is painful
God only knows how utterly our innocence
Shatters under the profound weight
Of reality
What will it take us to be free
To honestly and truthfully grapple
With our authentic vulnerability?
Tides of nature are so strong
And it will not be long before one takes us down
And yet are we not still breathing?
Even as our lungs fill with salt water
And oceanic forms swim deep inside our eyes
Obscuring earthly vision
We are a people so removed from nature
Until it’s power surprises us with a ferocity
Denying human logic
And so it is that we must kneel
And fully surrender
Along this tangled path of living
Leading us deeper and deeper
Into the eye and heart
Of the storm
Emerging From The Dark Night 
We couldn’t, cope with the pains of our pasts, that was, why we try so hard, to find an escape from them, until, we finally, realized that, running away, doesn’t, help us resolve anything, then, we finally, start, coping with everything that’s, happened to us in the past…
