Click stars to vote (left is low, right is high)
I fell deep into the hole in my soul
and darkness surrounded me,
permeated me,
engulfed me
I thought no light
I had no sight
It just was not right
for me to die
so I decided to try
to live again
even without any Peace
though I thought it elusive
and to certain exclusive
I continued to search in my sleep
until I gently woke up
and continued to look
for a Light that I knew to be within me
The center of my soul
that no other could control
but the One who created me
and then I asked Spirit
if I could just get near it
my only goal,
to find Peace without killing me
Twenty-four years had passed
before I was brought to the Vast-
The vastness of space and eternity
I was a body no more
complete connection I could explore
in total freedom
and intimate reality
I had been there before,
only this time I could clearly see
That All Light came from within me
It was not darkness engulfing
It was pinholes of light
all around me
what I thought was a pit
was certainly not it
but my Oneness with all in serenity
I had to return
with so much to learn
about Light
in The Pit
of Tranquility
I would love to read comments about what you think this poem means to you. -Jayanne
