Divine Within


The petals of darkness open and enclose me
By my heartbeat I find myself,
by my breath I know I am.
"I AM, I AM, I AM," beats my pulse.

"How can I love?" I ask the darkness.
"Believe you can," answers the darkness.
"How can I serve?" I ask the darkness.
"Believe you can," answers the darkness.

Small tears rest on my lashes
"It has taken me years to find you,"
I say into the darkness.
"Do not weep, for you are here now;
You are in time, and there is much to be done."

"I can love, I am needed"
beats my heart; wisdom leads and I follow.
I am light in the darkness.
I have light for the world.
