A Divine Spark
Within lies a divine spark of light;
a bright campground of hope.
When nothing seems to be going right;
look within and you can learn to cope.
Complexity is humanity
and it’s quite a paradox.
Consciousness clings to reality
while the subconscious mind does not.
Sometimes, well-meaning people,
want to put you in a box.
They’ll come across as evil;
when truly, they are not.
A unique creation
is every individual soul;
realization brings elation;
you can again, be whole.
All life, it is sacred,
though we all do make mistakes.
Your inner light’s an anchor,
tossed in a subconscious lake.
Humans will use labels,
they help finite minds to cope.
Finite minds sometimes lack faith;
but, there is always hope.
For every single divine spark,
like the one that shines in you,
is a tiny piece of a greater mind;
this I know to be true.
For I was once like you, my friend;
feeling hopeless and alone.
I went inside of myself to mend,
and in there, I saw gold.
You are more than flesh and bone;
you possess a soul.
That soul has a purpose here on Earth,
to achieve it, is its goal.
“What is this goal”? You may ask;
“how am I to know”?
You see, you are a poet,
and your soul’s words, they do flow.
All that we endure in life,
builds our character.
Poets know that they must write;
to cure the pain and hurt.
When you pen, take heed my friend,
a lesson you will learn.
That when you pen, it helps to mend;
your divine spark, brighter burns.
