Where Now Shines Light and Love

Where Now Shines Light and Love Far, far, far away rejected darkened hate now banished into its own gloom. That black fog that did so dictate the misery in my lonely room! Pain, pain, pain was its desired fruit I, a mere vassal to its decrees. Finally found was its bitter root hiding down deep as the seas! Swift, swift, swift came the decision to rip out one nasty, evil tree. With deepest thought and precision soul ripped the seed from me! Hope, dearest hope now rests in that hole. Where now shines love, always a worthy goal! Robert J. Lindley, 10-12-2015 Note- A sonnet to remind me, darkness has a seed that grows from within. Cut out the seed--light and love comes back in.

Excellent reminder that we are responsible for our own faults. Only by ridding ourselves of the dark things can we embrace the light. ~ Lin ~

Thanks my friend. Light cannot co-exist with darkness but it can banish it!
