Write From the Night

write from the dark 
write from the night 
write till the darkness
washes away into light 

write till the tears
stream down your face
Write till your awareness 
falls into place

write till your empty
from darkness to dawn
write barefoot lying flat 
on the lawn

write in the forest among the 
birds and the bees
write with your back 
up against a tree

write with pencil, pen 
or your thumbs
write till everything
in you is just numb

Write till you see 
the truth that God sees
that he is in you 
and you are in me
