WE all need to find light in darkness... we always search for the light at the end of the tunnel.. we all face trials and we all sink, but need to remember we only drown if we stay in the water... as always your haikus are excellent..

Thank you, Silent One, for stopping by and for your comments. I agree, we only drown if we choose to stay in the water...it's all a matter of choice. Thanks for complimenting my Haikus. I appreciate you doing so. Enjoy your day, Sara

Sadness engulfs hope. Sadly, some never find the light to show them the path.

So much in so few words. For some, climbing out from the pit is an act of sheer will. Others need help, and that's okay too

thanks for your visit, Tom. Yes, for some climbing out of the pit of despair is a sheer act of will. Others seek help & that's a positive move. Thanks for your comments and have a pleasant afternoon, Sara

Very beautiful, Sara. And true! There is no darkness in God's creation...only self keeping out the light.

thanks for your visit, Joe. Truly Light overcomes darkness...we choose at some level to keep out the light. Have a blessed afternoon, Sara

Oh!! How sadness, melancoly, and outright depression can cause big problems, but letting the love of God through the Holy Spirit fill us makes all the difference. I enjoyed reading this one today. Sara

thanks for your visit, Sara. I agree sadness, melancholy, and depression can be like a spiral unless one lets the Light in. Thanks for your comments and for enjoying my creation. Have a pleasant day, Sara

This is my second time trying to comment on your poem, i dont know whats going on had difficulty responding to comments earlier too, anyhow i was praising and admiring your alliterations and flow of your deeply meaningful words expressed in the form of haiku, as always you’ve delivered a deep one and i agree when light of consciousness enters it dissipates darkness. Truly u are such a gifted poetess.
