If only we can see it
evening brings on thoughts
that only darkness shares.
The every day distractions
gone, no longer blinding us.

As we drift to the surface,
from water to air, we take a breath
suddenly afloat,
and from darkness to light,
we return.

Darkness carries so much light,
if only we can see it.
Only faith brings the torch.
It lights the way eternal,
no longer needing to see.

Only the yearning remains,
as we enter one realm to the next.
Hope in one, truth in the other.
Life taking form,
from faith. And, darkness carries so much light.
