Darkness

Darkness
The night falls unexpectedly
There is nothing to be seen
By looking out the windows
Except the end of another day
Another month
Another season
Another cycle

Look inside, it calls,
Watch the flames of your fire, it says
Listen, it whispers, to your heartbeat
To the pulse of your passion
To the rush of your feeling
To the synergy of Wholeness
To the cosmic kiss of angels

Beat, my heart, beat steady
In the face
Of all aridity and disenchantment
Beat true and strong
That I might follow where you lead
That the darkness might be dispelled
From within

Alone, again
Knowing love is knowledge learned
Missing feeling it, missing the tingle
Of the shared experience
The dance of atoms
The mesh of auras
The minds seeking to explore more deeply
The peripheral discovery
Of Two

Darkness comes
I am not unwilling
Just alone
And seeking that which is revealed
In the silence of the moment
In the blanket of solitude
In the rush of longing
For my lover
My beloved
My Beloved
