Darkness to Light


Darkness engulfs
An empty room when lights
Go out.
Shadows, nightmares and
Smoke spring up
Threatening to drag
Down under.
Unwelcome and unbidden,
Chains wraps around the
Beating heart.
Down. Down. Down.
A plane spirals out
Of control
In the hands of the
Child.

Strong hands grab the
Helm.
Pointing the nose, the Pilot
Sets a new course.
Up. Up. Up.
Shackles fall away with
Earth, clouds and wind
At the letting go.
Bursting through to clear
Skies and sunshine,
Rays and rainbows dance
Across the way.
In the room of family
And friends,
Light shines.
