I Can Stand

I can stand in darkness I can be consumed by the sheer heaviness of it How it over powers and takes over Or I can walk towards and stand in the light Letting its brilliance soothe and heal me Letting the warmth massage my soul and body Giving me much needed relief I can stand in the darkness and be alone No one around only silence Where heavy clouds abound Or I can stand in the light and be surrounded by love Bathed in its beauty Letting the light open and fill my heart and all corners of my life
