In the Dark Place

It’s dark in the place of the unknowing

Where gremlin “what if?” ’s stalk

Stirring fear and dread

It’s scary in the place of the unknowing

Pensive foreboding

Like a rattlesnake poised to strike.

It’s lonely in the place of the unknowing

Where no-one can enter

Your internal battleground –

This part of your journey.

Left in the mire of demon thoughts

Trapped in a prolonged nightmare

As fear over-rides your senses

Like waves shifting the sand

Where you have no control.

Each raindrop

Each snowflake

Each blade of grass

Now has more meaning

You see with fresh eyes

The awe of creation

That once sped past

Barely noticed ‘til now.

Please know

Although you can’t see them

There are angels by your side

In your waiting place

In the dark place of the unknowing.

Namaste.

Thanks for reading and take care until next time.
