Darkness of the Heart

Darkness of the heart
Churns deep
Threatening a serene
Passage to peace.
Reflections of internal war
Surface in tears and anger
Collapsing and drowning
Innocence.
Remember the blackness turns to light at the seam of
Released emotions.
Look for rays that reach out a passage to let go
And embrace the beautiful intensity where life and death
Dance together in the storm.
