from darkness to light

melancholic mood of angst sinks deep in sands of ennui noose of loneliness tightens we dread the looming abyss yet a light within us brightens darkness a web spun by ego the light reflection of our Self we know we’re not body-mind nonchalance banishes fears that seek to grip us in its bind viewing life as a lucid dream somewhat like a simulation wherein we play out our role breath by breath we but feel gentle whispers of our soul

Dear US, The way you capture the tightening noose of loneliness only to reveal the brightening of inner light, speaks to the resilience of the spirit and the wisdom gained through self-reflection. I’m struck by how you blend existential themes with lucid dreaming, simulation, the play of roles into a compassionate meditation on being that perfectly aligning with your love for exploring complex, spiritual and transformative ideas in poetry. Excellent Read this morning! Spring Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel
