FROM DARKNESS TO LOVE

The ringing sounds announced the decent;
From a familiar voice, which will not relent,
Came a heralding into the open abyss.
Will it ever close, even with hopes kiss?

You spoke and took me to a place I know well
A place of harm and hate, once dispelled;
Once I accepted it as all that we can be,
A dark isolated and lonely humanity.

Now a distant dream, with words found in her love
Replacing that furnace with her treasure trove;
Words of beauty shaped from all that we are
Find ways to speak and raise up the bar.

In moving beyond self to a place beyond thought
A moment of spirits movement is now caught,
Converting our truth to news from her realm
A voice of pure love is now at the helm.

Knowing, from not thinking, makes some whole
By taking her secrets, with permission stole,
And placing them in places for all to see;
A truth of loving care from our humanity.
