When Darkness Comes to You In The Night.... (Poem)

[Guest guest]

When darkness comes to you in the night,And lays her heavy hand upon your heart,Or should your soul be wont to curl inward,Take my hand and I will be there. Silence can be beautiful if given the proper due,But so, too, can the sure knowledge that Being alone and suffering in silenceDenotes merely a choice we make. Listen when you quiet your inner voiceAnd heed its desires.For it is in the heart that truth resides, Companion to respect and honesty. Battles are not won by single souls.To fight with honor and dignity at timesRequires the strength to know thatThere is a deeper power found beyond one. Be true to yourself and you will soar to untold heights.Be not daunted by the dawning of a day,Or the setting of the sun.Rather, reach skyward and celebrate your being. Know the truest mastery can be foundIn remembering your value.Contributions made are unparalleled whenMade with joy and love. Alison Kain ~2001~
