The darkest of time, then the wash of love

I sat in the dark

Telling myself this can not go on

I saw my heart in thousands of pieces

I had no courage to change

I had no courage to stay

I had no courage to go

Sitting in the dark 

I was alone

Fear was all there was

When there was nothing darker 

A light appeared

The whisper that everything will be ok

The feeling that love was around me

The words were clear yet they were not words

The words were energy

You are loved

You are enough

You are the change

The depth of despair I had never known

The depths I would never see again

Yet I will never forget

That was where I needed to be

To see the beauty of what light was

To see words as energy

To feel love wash over me

I am the fortunate one

I found the way

I found the courage

It was never gone

It always remains

Shine the light

For all who need it

For you

Radiate love
