Darkness Beyond Darkness

Have you ever seen darkness so dark it appears transparent?

A mirror that reflects the emptiness of your soul

A darkness beyond the darkest darkness

A soul without essence

Nothing within but a void

A hollow emptiness

I need to be freed from the darkness

A darkness that crushes all that was once me

I’ve never flew over the mountains

Without boundaries, without limitations

Over the mountains completely free

Never swam in the wake of the dolphin

Never floated on leaves

Without fear of the currents beyond

I dream as all dream

Yet the shroud of darkness smothers me

I see the child, young and pure

I hear the call of the darkness

It is within this darkness the fragile child must live

I search for hope, a love, that will set this child free

I search for the place upon which she may rest

Take time

Breath

As I search within I find this child is me

The shattered seed, the fragile plant

Was I never meant to be?

I wipe away the tears and wonder

Will I ever be free.
