The Unknown

Fear is present in the unknown.
We cower from its dark entity for our survival.
Can we rise to it to unveil the truth?
What will we see or What will we know?
Is it our demise, or is it our salvation?
A golden candle is lit, bringing forth its light.
It cast light into it, creating shadows of more fear.
Illuminating the rest with awe and wonder of what we see
Making it known to us its majestic beauty.
It presents to us the awe-inspiring spiritual life that our souls seek.
The Dark shadows of life beckon us not to see this truth,
But the wonder, the peace, the joy carries us to life everlasting.
We will follow it because the dark shadows offer only death.
