Darkness

Of the Spirit

Cherish and embrace it;

Deep, - in the darkness stands the forge

In which the Divine Smith does His hard work,

With the anvil as the altar,

And the hammer beating

To make Soul, in

Darkness

Darkness

Do go through it!

Let it  take you beneath,-

Below the seat of emotions,

And the turmoil of the life of sunshine,

and callow vapid happiness,

To the quiet place where

New Life trumps

Darkness









Darkness

Is a great gift,

Souls are fashioned in it,

By the anvil and the hammer,

Sparks are flying high as the only light,

And the beating is the music;

Edge and heft is bestowed,

And substance in

Darkness
