Stare into the light

When the path falls dark

As the road seems far less travelled 

Where your questions remain unanswered 

Challenges every day hang heavy in still air

As footsore and weary you plod, feet of clay

towards futures uncertain.

Guilt and doubt become unwelcome bedfellows

Memories cold comfort for these changing times

Alone you feel what no other can have felt

In these moments, pause, breathe

Let the tears flow, cleansing, feelings washed anew

Pick your way through the sad echoes of the past

With forgiveness embrace this precious form,

sing your song with a pitch perfect joy

Pause a moment to gaze upon the half light of dawn

Sure and certain that another day is coming

Stare into the healing of the light

Forgive yourself

Love yourself 

Rest assured that others love you
