Light And Darkness

Light seems brightest when seen in the darkest dark.
Yet darkness can be all but eliminated by the brightness of light.
When in a balanced contrast, each is often seen clearer.

Although their differences when compared are quite stark,
Both darkness and light have the potential to provide great insight.
Each has qualities that can make things seem dearer.

Once while meditating on a bench in the park,
I had a sensation of my soul taking flight.
Wisdom and Truth suddenly seem nearer.

Through space and time, I flew like a lark.
I tried to remain there with all my might.
Guided by the light, I wasn’t the steerer.

From darkness or light, the Truth we’ll still see.
Truth is at home inside both you and me.
Guiding us through life to our destiny.

When anger controls our soul, we lose sight of the truth. It behoves us to search for God's truth be there be light or darkness. Truth leads to bliss.

Absolutely! All truth is already inside of us, apart of us. Mystic oneness with God is a beautiful practice. In the Silence, all is still...now I know the meaning of a word-drop, and the mystic voice of eternal sea. Great read, Bill. Thank you for sharing.

your poem is deeply profound and one given to you from God. Such insight and wisdom are woven in your flowing lines. I think this is one of your better poems, seriously! I've had a similar experience when I wasn't the steerer...changed me completely. Thanks for sharing your spirit and soul, Sara
