~ From Dark to Light ~

In times of trouble
When itâs hard to see
I close my eyes
And I journeyâ¦

Emptying my mind
And watching my breath
With condition and opennessâ¦
I arrive at the hearts truth

Sitting in observation
I see beauty and light
The singing of birds
Cause me to take flight

The journey to divine
Has set me freeâ¦
With each and every breath
I am reminded of lifeâs simplicity

Traveling to the state of clarity
I am gently shown lifeâs purity
Inhaling a new sense of identity
Exhaling all of my troubles exponentially

Without the observer
There are no observations
Without the thinker
There are no thoughtsâ¦

Having taken the journey
From dark to light
Became the beginning and the end
As well as the first step and the last â¦

I gained a new understanding of self through the dark and the light.
