Trust the Dark

Trust the unknown force that grew you, From the joining of two cells. Act of love, of self giving, Thus to grow a newer self. Trust the dark,the unseen aspects Of the life we all do live. Trust that there is wisdom elsewhere, To your emptiness to give. Wait in patience for the time When inspiration comes at last Trust in darkness,silence,lowness. Opposition forms the cross. Pain is bearable in lowness, Like the worm in earth I dwell. When I look I see the sunrise And I trust all shall be well.

"trust the dark" This interesting title makes me read your poem. I like your poem it is kinda unique. "Trust the dark,the unseen aspects Of the life we all do live. Trust that there is wisdom elsewhere, To your emptiness to give. " My favorite part - Doris

I am pleased you found it interesting,Doris.Over my lifetime I have read a number of books,poems,mystical writings and so on and this is one thing I have gathered from them,trustubg the unknown.. to actually do it may be hard.I think it may partly depend on how we were treated as babies and children but in fact ll the time our heart beats and our minds function without out control....
