The Light Within

Photo by Laura Makabresku

When we come here
To this place we call Earth
Pure light encased
Into flesh and then birthed

And for a time
So brightly our light shines
Innocent hearts
And uncorrupted minds

Gradually
Daily life takes its toll
Shrouds are added
Layers that hide our souls

Darkness descends
Suffocating our flames
Stuck in routine
Playing survival games

One day we hear
A small cry from inside
Of the child
Who wants more than "survive"

A journey starts
To find our way back home
Cutting layers
Peeling them from our bones

Deep sea diving
Into depths yet unknown
Garden of growth
Where healing seeds are sown

A tiny spark
Uncovered and revealed
Forgotten light
Is no longer concealed

The light within
Illuminates and guides
Chasing away
Fears where they try to hide

One tiny spark
Has become a rising Sun
Emanating
Warmth and love for everyone
