A bright dawn follows much later
On the foggy days
And its an act of trust to open our hearts
When the sun has disappeared
Where is the sun in my heart??
What made it depart from me??
There was a grief for the loss of light
And it was one impossible to name
And yet it lived like a haunted ghost inside of me
There were many tears
That also revealed so much wisdom and healing
Over all of the years
And so I am grateful for them
Sunlight dawning now
Makes all of these tears so much more
Meaningful to me
There is both light and shade
Inextricably woven into the way in which
We are made
So let us celebrate the sunlight
While remaining ever so grateful
For the rain showers
That in falling
Watered deep inside us
Fallow spaces in which hidden seeds lay
Ripe and anxious
Longing for germination
Emerging From The Dark Night
